He finished his Michigan basketball career with 1,124 points - a career mark that stood until 1961. With the Wolverines, he played on the offensive and defensive line, but also saw time as a running back, quarterback, kicker and wide receiver. He was then drafted by the Packers in the first round in 1957.
