Gerald R. Ford is not only one of Michigan’s most famous and important graduates, but he is also one of the University’s great student-athletes. On Oct. 8, 1994, Michigan retired his jersey number 48 during halftime of the Wolverines’ game against Michigan State. Ford’s jersey became just the fifth in Michigan’s illustrious history to be retired. The five jersey numbers honor seven players because three Wolverines — the Wistert brothers — each wore number 11. Six of the players are linemen and all were two-way players. Years after the retirement of Bennie Oosterbaan’s “47,” it was announced that “11” would disappear forever from the Michigan rosters, giving special recognition to three of the Wolverines greatest tackles, Francis, Albert and Alvin Wistert. Tom Harmon, “Old 98,” had his number retired after winning the Heisman Trophy in 1940 and Ron Kramer’s “87” never will be worn by another Wolverine because he was the epitome of the rugged defensive end and also made impossible catches as an offensive end. Though Ford’s football accomplishments may pale in comparison with his political achievements, the same would be said for any ex-President of the United States. While at Michigan, Ford earned three varsity letters from 1932-34 and was named Michigan Most Valuable Player his senior year as a starting center. On Jan. 1, 1935, Ford played on the East Team in the Shrine Ron Kramer 37 Former equipment manager Henry Hatch (above) displays four of Michigan’s retired jerseys. Crippled Children’s Hospital game in San Francisco. In 1935, he played in the all-star game against the World Champion Chicago Bears following his standout senior season. Ford, a 1935 Michigan graduate, received his law degree from Yale in 1941 while also serving as an assistant football coach there. He went on to serve in the Navy for four years of active duty and returned home in 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. On Jan. 3, 1949 Ford was sworn into Congress. The Grand Rapids native, also a member of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, was known as a “congressman’s congressman,” and was elected as the minority leader of the House of Representatives in 1965. He would later be named Vice President, and then President of the United States in 1974.

To have it all, I can’t even begin to describe it.” Jon Jansen, Offensive Tackle — Captain of 1997 National Championship Team 41
