Jack Cvercko

Contemporary Era: 2000 Inductee

Voted an All-American in 1962 and 1963, Jack Cvercko, like his brother Andy, played on both sides of the ball, except primarily as a guard. Jack's career was often hampered by a chronic knee injury but, as a Michigan State player once said about him, "Even on just one leg, Cvercko was the toughest player I've played against." NU was 17-10 during his three seasons with victories over Oklahoma, Notre Dame (twice), Miami and Ohio State (twice).
