NIC-10's 100 Greatest Football Players: No. 94 - George Wojtowicz, East

Our No. 94 player was the dominant offensive lineman on the 1973 and 1974 East teams that combined to go 22-0 and outscore its opponents 656-130.

George Wojtowicz was a two-year starter on the offensive and defensive lines. The 1973 team went 9-0 and won by an average score of 24-6. Wojtowicz was first team All Big-9 for the 1974 team that went 13-0 and won the IHSA Class 4A championship 34-15 over Normal Community.

Wojtowicz was one of five players off the 1974 team to play major NCAA Division 1 college football. He joined running back Ira Matthews at Wisconsin.

Unfortunately, Wojtowicz suffered a knee injury early in his college career. Although he was on the roster all four seasons, he only lettered his senior year. After going undefeated as a high school player, his senior year was the only season the Badgers had a winning record.
