Hall of Fame
Mike Soucy is considered by many to be the greatest defensive end to ever play for the Rensselaer football team. After seeing significant time as a freshman, he started the next three years and captained the team as a junior and senior. He was a two-time All-American and a three-time All-Conference and All-League honoree. Twice he was chosen as the team’s defensive Most Valuable Player. Soucy holds three RPI records, including sacks in a game (6.5 in 1991), sacks in a season (14 in 1991) and sacks in a career (34.5). He led the team with 93 tackles as a sophomore and amassed 135 primary tackles and 119 assisted hits for 254 total tackles in his career. In 1994-95, following his senior season, he was chosen as RPI’s Athlete of the Year.
