One of the top wide receivers in Lincoln history, Michael J. West signed a free agent contract with the Green Bay Packers following a stellar four-year career at LU from 1974-77. During that time, West caught 72 passes for 1,422 yards, with his yardage total ranking fourth all-time among Blue Tigers. In 1977, West was selected to the All-MIAA first team after tying the conference's single-season record with nine touchdowns. That season, he also tied the MIAA's single-game record with a three-touchdown performance against Southwest Missouri. In 1976, West was named an All-American honorable mention by the Associated Press, and his three-touchdown game remains a Lincoln record to this day.
