Hugh R. Rader Memorial Award

The award was established in 1982 to perpetuate the fond memory of dedicated alumnus Hugh Rader. It is awarded to the "Best Lineman" as selected each year by his coaches. Hugh was a past president of "The Club," a past member of the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics, a past Director of the Alumni Association, a Trustee of the Scholarship Fund, and member of the vital Transportation Committee. He was honored in 1979 when he was selected as one of Michigan's "Greatest Fans" by the Football Committee. His consecutive home and away streak of 350 ended in 1980 when he missed the Ohio State game in Columbus. Hugh also received the rare distinction of being named an Honorary 'M' Club member.
