BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Former wide receiver Glenn Scolnik (1970-72) will serve as Indiana's honorary captain on Saturday against Maryland. Scolnik will officially be inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame tonight and will also be recognized at halftime tomorrow when the Hoosiers host Maryland for a noon kickoff.
As a senior, Scolnik was named the team's most valuable player and first team All-Big Ten after he caught 53 passes for a Big Ten-leading 727 yards, both program records at the time, and six touchdowns for head coach John Pont.
His '72 season was highlighted by back-to-back weeks in September; after hauling in nine passes for what was then a school-record 175 yards against TCU, he scored three touchdowns and had a two-point conversion in a 35-34 win over Kentucky.
