Football: 1997-2000

One of the most decorated Minnesota linemen of the modern era, Ben Hamilton played center for the Golden Gophers and was a four-year letterwinner from 1997-2000.

An All-America and time All-Big Ten performer in both 1999 and 2000, Hamilton was named the 2000 winner of the Bronko Nagurski Award as the Gophers' most valuable player. He also earned the team's Butch Nash and Paul Giel awards during his time at Minnesota.

Following his Gopher career, Hamilton was drafted in the fourth round of the 2001 National Football League Draft. He played 10 seasons in the NFL, nine with the Denver Broncos and one with the Seattle Seahawks.
