Ron Pritchard Linebacker Award: Pritchard played linebacker for Antioch High School and as a senior was named All-County, All-League, All-Metropolitan, All-Northern California and an HM All-America selection. Then at ASU established himself as one of the premier linebackers in the nation, garnering 1st Team All-WAC honors three years in a row, and eventually becoming ASU’s first Consensus All American. In 1968 he played in the Hula Bowl, Senior Bowl, College All Star Game, and the East-West Shrine Game, being named defensive MVP in the latter. His AFL/NFL 8-year career included the Oilers and the Bengals. Pritchard is a member of the ASU Sports HOF and Ring of Honor, and in 2003 he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
