Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
A native of Blair, Flynn was an outstanding offensive lineman for the CSC football team in 1979, ‘80 and ‘81. As a senior, he was selected by his teammates as the Eagles’ outstanding player. Offensive linemen don’t rack up statistics, but the Eagles’ fullback the last two years Flynn played was Willy Long, a three-time all-district selection. Prior to Flynn’s induction into the Hall of Fame, Long said Flynn was the lineman he knew he could depend upon the most to block well for him, and added that he missed Flynn’s presence in the line his senior year.
John and his wife, Lisa, also a Hall of Fame inductee, live near Sutherland, where he is an associate research scientist for Syngenta, Inc., a large seed corn firm. He formerly was a product development agronomist for Golden Harvest Seeds.
