Jim Hoysradt '97 is considered to be one of the best defensive players in the history of Hartwick football.

A four-year letterman from 1993-1996, the native of Lewiston, N.Y., holds the program's all-time records in career tackles (368) and fumble recoveries (10). He also ranks third in tackles for losses (35).

For his career playing linebacker, Hoysradt was recognized in 1996 as first team all-East Region and second-team All-American by the Football Gazette.

He captained the East's defense in the first-ever USA Division III Senior All-Star Football Classic, was a GTE Academic All-District honoree and the recipient of the Phil Rigano Award, which goes to the student-athlete at Hartwick which exemplifies leadership, sportsmanship and scholarship.

He also played for Team USA in an exhibition tour of Europe in 1995.
