Hall of Fame
Size and stature are not always necessary to be a successful offensive lineman. That would be the case for 1982 graduate Al Urwin.
Urwin proved his worth and was a four-year starter for the Bobcats and was a lead blocker for All-American and Peru State Hall of Fame members Alvin Holder and Roosevelt Brown.
During his junior and senior seasons, Urwin was one of the captains for Peru State. Following his junior season, he was an Omaha World-Herald NAIA All-Nebraska Second Team Selection while earning honorable mention in the Lincoln Journal-Star. As a senior, he was named to the first team by both major papers. In addition, Urwin was an NAIA District 11 Honorable Mention following his senior campaign.
Through his four years as a Bobcat, the Peru State football team went 28-10-2 which is one of the better four-year marks.
