Dan Primrose ’97 was a three-time First Team All-Presidents’ Athletic Conference defensive lineman who led W&J’s defense during one of the most dominant eras in school history. Primrose collected 263 career tackles which remains as the fifth-highest total in school history. During his four seasons, the Presidents held a 42-6 overall record. W&J also was victorious eight times in 12 NCAA Division III playoff games during his years.
Primrose helped Washington & Jefferson claim four Presidents’ Athletic Conference Championships and his squads advanced to four NCAA Division III playoffs. In 1994, Primrose played an important role on W&J’s Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl runner-up squad. Following his senior season, Primrose was selected as an All-American by the American Football Coaches Association/Kodak and the Associated Press.
The AP Little All-America Team includes all players in Division I-AA, Division II, Division III and the NAIA. Since 1980, only 10 W&J football players have earned the Associated Press Little All-America award. Washington & Jefferson College won 10 or more games three times during his career, including a pair of 11-win seasons, which tied the school record.
