GARY HOHMAN


CLASS OF '67


YEAR OF INDUCTION: 2006



The driving force behind the 1966 undefeated football team, Hohman was third-team All-State and first-team All-County quarterback that season. He was also the Mercer County Football Player of the Year and, showing what a strong two-way player he was, Hohman made the All-Delaware Valley team as a safety.

After giving some other athletes a chance in the winter, Hohman returned in the spring of his senior year to earn first-team All-State and All-County honors in baseball. He was an All-Big 10 defensive back for the University of Minnesota, and still holds the Big 10 and Minnesota record for longest interception return for a touchdown (99 yards vs. Nebraska). The Minneapolis resident also holds the record for most interceptions returned for touchdowns at Minnesota. In baseball he earned All-Big 10 honors before playing minor league baseball in the Detroit Tigers organization.
