Washington Huskies: 30 greatest football players of all-time

The Huskies produced some incredible talent back in the 1930s. When it comes to those teams, few players stand out like Max Starcevich. A member of the football program from 1934 to 1936, Starcevich won three varsity letters. By the time he was done at the school, he had become one of the better offensive linemen in college football.

Starcevich came to Washington via the state of Minnesota. Once he arrived, he quickly became one of the top players on the team. Playing fullback, tackle and then guard, it would be at the guard position where he would really establish himself as one of the best in the country, as he was named an All-American guard in 1936.

That season, Starcevich helped lead the Huskies to a 7-2-1 record and a berth in the Rose Bowl. A member of the 1937 College All-Star Team, Starcevich played a big role in the college kids upsetting the Green Bay Packers of the NFL. That would be the last football game he would play, however, as he hung up his cleats afterward.

Though Starcevich was drafted into the NFL in the 1937 NFL Draft, he never ended up playing professional football. Still, he is on this list due to the impact he made on the Huskies football program, and nationally, as he was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990.
