1977 Profile: Rick Dvorak

Defensive End
No. 66
Wichita State
"A No. 3 draft choice in 1974, Rick put in time as both a linebacker and defensive end in the 53 Defense during the preseason. He was a key man on the special teams all during the regular season in addition to logging playing time as a reserve.
In 1975, Rick was moved to the defensive line and got in plenty of time at both defensive end and defensive tackle when Dave Gallagher and John Mendenhall were injured. He was in on three quarterback sacks, had a fumble recovery and continued to do a solid job on special teams as he appeared in all 14 games for the second year in a row.
Rick was a reserve defensive lineman again in 1976 and contributed with gusto on all of the special teams, and again played in all 14 games.
He was a three-time All-Missouri Conference selection as a defensive tackle at Wichita State, winning team MVP honors in his rookie season. He set a school record with 27 unassisted tackles in one game. Rick majored in engineering with a B average and was a Vince Lombardi scholarship winner.
Richard Dvorak was born in Spearville, Kansas and played his high school athletics at Spearville High School in his hometown. He resides in Wichita during the off-season."
