Biography

As a Tight End, Linebacker, and Kicker, “The Pride of Dawson County” helped lead the Greenbacks to the Eight-Man promised land multiple times in the mid-1970’s. In an era before the state playoffs, undefeated Farnam High School was crowned Eight-Man State Champions for both Greg’s freshman (1972) and junior (1974) seasons. During his highly-decorated athletic career, he was selected as a 1st Team All-Conference and 1st Tam All-Area player on numerous occasions, as well as being named 1st Team All-State Tight-End and Kicker following the 1974 and 1975 football seasons. Greg was also selected to play in the 1976 Nebraska Shrine Bowl- an extremely rare honor for any 8-Man player in that era- and a true reflection of the level of his talents. After graduating high school, he went on to play college football as a walk-on at the University of Nebraska. Greg’s fondest memories revolve around being in a small town/small school that allowed himself and all of the great athletes and teammates that he was surrounded by to realize big-time achievements. The NEMFCA is honored to welcome him into the Eight-Man Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023.
