Chuck Ortmann

Induction:
2004

Chuck Ortmann was the last of Michigan's long line of “triple threat” tailbacks. He rushed for 676 yards, passed for 2,199 yards and punted as the left halfback on the 1948 and 1949 Michigan Big Ten champion teams. In 1950, he set a Michigan and Big Ten record with 24 punts against Ohio State in the famous Snow Bowl game, played in Columbus. Ortmann was an All-Big Ten selection (1949-50) and a Chicago Tribune All-Star participant in 195 and played in the 1951 Hula Bowl. He went on to play two years of professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Texans.
