Hall of Fame
A four-year letter winner at Washington State, Dan Lynch quickly moved up the Cougar ranks. As a redshirt junior, Lynch started all 11 games for the Cougars and helped to anchor an offensive line that boosted WSU to second in rushing among Pac-10 teams. In his final season, Lynch was selected to the All-Pac-10 first team for the second consecutive season and the unanimous recipient of the Pac-10 Morris Trophy winner for his work as an offensive lineman. He was named First Team All-America by the Associated Press and Football News, while garnering second-team honors by The Sporting News. Lynch earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from WSU and was named the Outstanding Senior of the Year in 1984, along with being named the Frank Butler Award winner for Cougar spirit. He capped his senior season by participating in the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. In the early 1990s, Lynch settled in the Czech Republic and has worked with numerous companies all over Eastern Europe. In 2004, he was awarded the “Golden Egg Award” as philanthropist of the year for his work with local Czech charities and children’s organizations.
