Bruschi is a 2 time All-American, 1995 PAC-10 Defensive POY, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, and one of the Arizona players with his jersey retired. 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.
