Claim to fame: A two-way football standout as a running back and cornerback for the Holy Cross Crusaders, Gordie Lockbaum placed fifth in Heisman Trophy balloting in 1986 and third in 1987.

Lockbaum earned national publicity for the small college in Worcester, Massachusetts, as his ironman story splashed across television screens and the pages of magazines such as Sports Illustrated and People. During his junior and senior seasons, he totaled 44 touchdowns and 4,214 all-purpose yards as a running back who returned kicks and punts. He also led the Crusaders with four interceptions as a sophomore. He was the Division I-AA Player of the Year in 1987 and a two-time All-America selection.
