The Arizona Cardinals owner is getting into the Hall of Fame. The Georgetown Prep Athletic Hall of Fame that is.
From the team:
A 1949 graduate of the school that is located outside of Washington, D.C., Bidwill was a two-sport athlete for the Little Hoyas football and baseball teams. As a senior, he was a star fullback and kicker on Georgetown Prep’s undefeated 1948 football squad that won the city championship. A bruising runner as well as the squad’s fastest player, Bidwill led the team in scoring in both his junior and senior seasons.

Bidwill has been a part owner of the Arizona Cardinals since 1962 and became sole owner in 1972.
