Bruschi is a 2 time All-American, 1995 PAC-10 Defensive POY, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, one of the Arizona players with his jersey retired, and a senior advisor to Coach Fisch on Wildcat Football. He had 52 sacks at Arizona which tied the NCAA record at that time and was a key part of the Desert Swarm defense - one of the best defenses in college football history. Underrecruited, undersized, and overlooked by most football programs, Bruschi's effort, passion, and results made him an all-time fan favorite.
