Rutgers University Athletics

Hering led the Scarlet Knight rushers in 1946 and 1947, a period known as the "Golden Era" of Rutgers football. He gained 510 and 528 yards in back-to-back seasons and was named an honorable mention All-East tailback in 1947. His 80 points in 1946 ranked third-best in the East ahead of both of Army's Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside tandem of Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. A four-year letterwinner as a baseball outfielder, he won 11 games as a pitcher, including two victories in the 1950 College World Series.
