Omar Douglas
Football (1990-94)
Track & Field (1990-94)
HOF Class of 2017

While quite successful as a Big Ten sprinter, Douglas' name is most often associated with breaking almost every program receiving record – game, season and career – during his time on the gridiron. Even today, Douglas' 11 receiving touchdowns in 1993 remains the program's single-season record, and his five touchdowns against Purdue that season is tied for the most in Big Ten history. He was named All-Big Ten that season before transitioning into track and field, where later that year he won the 1994 Big Ten indoor title in the 55-meter dash. Following his collegiate career, he played three seasons in the NFL.
