Football • 1950-52

Al Brosky was a two-time All-Big Ten selection in 1951 and 1952, and still holds the NCAA career Interceptions records with 29, consecutive games with an interception (15) and interceptions per game (1.07). His remarkable interception streak stretched over three seasons and included a 16^th game, the 1952 Rose Bowl, which gave him 30 total for his career (not included in NCAA totals). Brosky was selected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998. He was a consensus First-Team All-American in ’51 and Second-Team in ’52. Brosky helped lead the Illini to the 1951 Big Ten title and ’52 Rose Bowl win over Stanford, and is a member of the Illinois All-Century Team. He played one season in the NFL with the Chicago Cardinals in 1954 before retiring with a back injury. Brosky died in 2010.
