An All-East ECAC 1st team member in 1963, he was the team captain that year and the recipient of the David Bender trophy as the team's top lineman. He started in all but three games in his three-year career (27) and was a Williamson All-America. Hoeflinger advanced from a fifth-string freshman fullback to become a starting right guard on the 1961 undefeated team. Also a linebacker on defense, this history major's speed was his best attribute on the playing field.
