Rich Seubert, 2011 - A four-year letterwinner from 1997-2000 for Leatherneck Football, Seubert earned All-America honors his senior year. During his time at Western, Seubert played tight end, guard and tackle.
In two of his four years, he helped pave the way for the Gateway Conference 'Offensive Player of the Year' - Aaron Stecker in 1997 and Charles Tharp in 2000. Three of the top four season rushing performances occurred during Seubert's time on the offensive line, including a record 2,293 yards by Stecker in 1997.
Western qualified for the Division I playoffs in three of his four years, advancing to the second round in 1997, semifinals in 1998 and first round in 2000. The '98 team's semifinals appearance still stands as the best postseason performance in program history. During his four-year career, Western posted a 38-12 record (.760 winning percentage) and won three conference titles.
He was a two-time winner of the Wes Stevens MVP Offensive Lineman award for the Leathernecks. Seubert was a three-time All-Gateway Conference selection, including First Team honors his senior year.

During his final five years with the Giants, Seubert missed only two regular season games. The highlight of his professional career came when the Giants knocked off the undefeated New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLII.
