THE GREATER LANSING AREA SPORTS HALL OF FAME
INDUCTION CEREMONY

Pat Stump

By Chuck Krafft

Pat Stump was a great football player who was an All Capital Circuit and All City standout as a two-way tackle and kicker.  He also excelled at Northern Michigan University where he earned four letters as an offensive tackle and defensive linebacker. 

He was an NAIA All-American for his last two years.  In 1964, he was Co-Captain and MVP of the team.  He is a member of the Northern Michigan University Hall of Fame.

Mr. Stump was excited to enter the hall, but unfortunately, he passed away a couple weeks before the ceremony.  His son, Matt Stump, came to the podium to accept his plaque.

Matt told us of his father’s happiness at being accepted in the hall.  He told us how Pat Stump valued his old teammates’ friendship and thanked all of Pat’s family for helping him to achieve what he did. 

For those who wish to read about the entire induction ceremony, here is a link.
