Lowell Perry is an unsung Steeler. He played just six games for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He doesn’t even break into my top 1,000 all-time Steelers. However, he is a significant figure in Pittsburgh Steelers history.
MICHIGAN FOOTBALL
Lowell Perry grew up in Michigan where his father had a dental practice. He played football for the University of Michigan. A two-way player he played end on offense and safety on defense. He also handled punt returns. As a sophomore, Perry scored the go-ahead touchdown against Dartmouth near the end of the first half. On defense he intercepted three Dartmouth passes to snuff out any chance of a comeback in a 27-7 win in the second game of the season.
