Running Back
No. 34
Lehigh
"Rizzo was originally signed as a free agent by the Giants in 1972, played well in the preseason but was then released and moved on to the CFL. He also had a brief stay with the Cincinnati Bengals before returning to the Giants last year. Jack got into six games as a reserve and also returned four kickoffs for 86 yards. He's a tough, gritty performer who gives out 100 percent.
Jack was Lehigh's MVP in both 1970 and 1971 and won All-ECAC first team honors in '71. He holds several rushing records at Lehigh including most yards in a season (1,143); most points scored in a game (25) and a season (129); and most yards rushing in one game (313). Jack also lettered in track with 9.7 in the 100 and 21.8 in the 220.
Jack was born in Boston, Mass., went to Weston High School in Weston, Mass. and to Kimball Union in Meriden, New Hampshire. He has been a school teacher in the off-season and breeds Tennessee walking horses for a hobby in New Hampshire."
