One of the school's top offensive tackles, Jack Klotz '56 helped the 1954 football team register a perfect 7-0 record to complete the program's first undefeated season since 1888. His blocking also helped the team average 23.7 points per game that year. Klotz, who earned a combined 12 letters in football, basketball and track & field, was later drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 18th round. He went on to play in the AFL for the New York Titans from 1960-62, the New York Jets from 1963-64 and the Houston Oilers in 1965.
