 Stan Johnson (1981-84)

For more than two decades, Stan Johnson's 98-yeard pass reception from Quarterback Bob Kreple has remained the longest passing play in school history.  That pass in a game against UW-Stevens Point in 1984 was just on of many Johnson made in a career that set numerous records that eventually took him to the pros.  

Entering the 2008 season, Johnson is still second with the most receiving years (980) for a season, and third in a game (221 yards) in a 1983 playoff game against Occidental College, the largest come-from behind victory in NAIA II history.  (UW-L won 43-42).  

After graduating in 1985, the marketing major was a free agent for the Chicago Bears in 1985 and the Cincinnati Bengals in 1986.  He was the last receiver cut by both.
