Hall of Fame
Kent Propst served the College as editor of the PSC student newspaper and became Sports Information Director late in his freshman year. The 1981 graduate returned in 1983 as Director of College Relations and eventually as Vice President of College Relations – positions he held for 20 years.
In his roles, Propst produced countless articles promoting Peru State College and athletics regionally and nationally. In addition to his regular duties, he teamed up with Hall of Fame member Randy Gottula and others as the color commentator for many Bobcat football games and other athletic contests.
Propst was the initial instigator for the Peru State Hall of Fame which started in 1986. He spent countless hours of research to help ensure many individuals and/or teams would eventually be enshrined and properly recognized. His initial planning and work for not only the selection, but the rest of the Hall of Fame activities, are followed to this day.
After a brief stint in Idaho, Propst returned to PSC for a time as Executive Director of the PSC Foundation.
Propst continues to be one of Peru State’s best and biggest ambassadors. For his service to Peru State College and his work honoring student athletes and Bobcat athletics, Propst was inducted to the Hall of Fame for meritorious service.
