Hall of Fame
Bobby Hurley was a standout halfback and punter for Ozarks from 1955-1958. The Clarksville native was one of the top rushers in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference in both 1956 and 1957, totaling 1,405 yards combined over the two seasons before an injury-riddled senior season slowed him down. Running out of the Split-T formation, Hurley helped the Mountaineers establish one of the top ground games in the nation during their 7-1-1 campaign in 1957 in which the team averaged 275 rushing yards a game. Hurley played every quarter for four straight seasons and was named to the All-AIC team in all four seasons he played. He also excelled as the team’s punter during his career.
