Hall of Fame
A member of the “Cardiac Kids,” local product Doug Flansburg arrived on campus in 1964 and during his four years developed into one of the finest receivers in program history. In just his third game during the 1965 season, Flansburg caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Tom Roth at Indiana. The subsequent two-point conversion lifted the Cougars to an 8-7 victory; with the last two plays being run after time had expired. That season, Flansburg led WSU with 46 receptions for 578 yards. During his junior campaign he caught a career-high 54 passes, including a WSU-record 12 receptions against Houston, and was named All-Pacific Coast Conference and All-West Coast First Team. He led the team in receptions for the third-straight season as a senior and capped the year by participating in the Hula Bowl. He finished his second in career receptions with 139 and third in receiving yards with 1,652 at Washington State.
