Lawyer Milloy - College Career

College Career

Milloy attended the University of Washington, where he played for the Washington Huskies football team from 1993 to 1995. He was the only sophomore in the Pac-10 to earn all-conference honors as he led the team and finished third in the Pacific-10 Conference with 106 tackles (67 solos), he became the first Husky defensive back to lead the team in tackles since Tony Bonwell, recorded 142 tackles in 1972, also credited with an interception, two forced fumbles and one recovered fumble. He started all year at free safety as a junior, leading the team in tackles for the second consecutive season with 115 stops in addition to tallying 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery and one interception. In 1995, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, having earned first-team honors from the Associated Press, the Walter Camp Foundation, UPI, the American Football Coaches Association, the Football Writers Association and the Football News. Milloy also earned first-team All Pac-10 honors, and was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. While at the University of Washington Milloy prematurely ended the career of one of UW's most promising Wide Receivers, Joseph B. Linggi. During practice Linggi was on a "dig" route coming across the middle and Milloy flattened him, going his usual 110% whether it was practice or a game. Linggi recovered and has gone on to a storied career in the U.S. Marine Corps as a tactical jet pilot. To this day Linggi barely recalls what happened, but has nothing but praise for Milloy.

Milloy was drafted by the Cleveland Indians as a pitching prospect out of high school and lettered three seasons in baseball at the University of Washington. He was also drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 19th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. In 1994, he played baseball on a Washington team that played Georgia Tech in the College World Series regional finals and featured future Major League Baseball players Jason Varitek and Nomar Garciaparra.
