Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
Sorensen was the Eagles’ starting right guard three years. He was selected to the Omaha World-Herald’s state college all-star team in both 1989 and ’90 when he blocked for David Jones, who rushed for more than 3,000 yards, averaged 6.8 yards a carry and scored 27 touchdowns those seasons.
At the end of the ’90 season, CSC coach Brad Smith was quoted as saying Sorensen may have been the best guard for his size (6-0, 220 pounds) in the nation. “He played like a 250-pounder. What he got done was amazing. He’s been a great worker and a great technician,” the coach said. A native of Wheatland, Wyo., he’s now the principal at Chase County High School at Imperial, Neb. His wife, the former Nancy Schnell, is an Alliance native and a graduate of CSC, where she played volleyball.
