A three sport standout, Elvin "Al" was named to the "All-Western Conference" grid team in 1963 as an end. He completed his basketball career at WHS as the Panthers' fourth all-time leading scorer and was an outstanding shortstop in baseball. Al was selected as the "Panther Best" award recipient his senior year.
As a defensive back for the University of Washington, he capped his collegiate career with one of the most memorable seasons in NCAA and Husky history. That year, Al intercepted 14 passes to establish new NCAA and UW records. He also set NCAA and school standards with four interceptions in one game, an average of 1.4 interceptions per game, and 18 career interceptions. Al was "All-Pac 8" and "first team Consensus All-American" in 1968.
