This November, Mike Pritchard's name will be cemented into Colorado history, when he is part of the 2015 class inducted into the CU athletic hall of fame for his outstanding achievements. The "Rocket of the Rockies" played the game of football with anticipation, passion and excitement; leaving defenders dumbfounded on how to cover him. Nearly 25 years ago, No. 9 became one of the most prolific athletes under Coach Bill McCartney. Some scouts called him "undersized" at 5-foot-10 and 193 pounds, but that didn't stop Pritchard from becoming a dangerous threat for CU on the field. He was a large part the 1990 national championship, and was named the most valuable player for the game after receiving All-Big Eight honors that season.
