Hall of Fame
Clarion, Pa., native Tim Yoho excelled in football, baseball and wrestling from 1974 to 1978 at Grove City College.
A standout in the defensive backfield for head coach Joe Kopnisky, Yoho helped the Wolverines to four consecutive winning seasons, the longest such streak for the program since the 1920s.
He earned the team's Defensive Player of the Year award and the squad's Co-Most Valuable Player honor following his senior year in 1977. The Pittsburgh Press named Yoho to its 1977 All-District First Team at cornerback.
Yoho highlighted the Wolverines' 17-0 win that season over Geneva by returning a fumble 87 yards for a touchdown. That remains the longest fumble return in program history upon induction.
He started in each of his final three years as an outfielder for the Grove City baseball team. As a senior, he led the team with a .353 batting average while also pacing the Wolverines in hits, home runs, triples and total bases.
He also led the 1977 team in batting average, home runs, hits, stolen bases and triples. Yoho's six triples in 1978 set a single-season program record that stood for 45 years and his 11 career triples ranked first in program history.
After injuries decimated the Grove City wrestling team's lineup in 1976, Yoho joined the team late in the season and won two of his three matches. Two years later, he qualified for the 1978 NCAA Division III Championships in Wheaton, Ill., after compiling a 6-3-1 regular season record in the 190-pound weight class.
