History

Outland Trophy

John H. Outland played football at the University of Kansas for two years, then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania to study medicine. Walter Camp named him an All-American at tackle in 1897 and at halfback in 1898.

After receiving his medical degree, Dr. Outland returned to Kansas to practice surgery. He also coached the university's football team in 1901.

In 1946, Dr. Outland donated a trophy to be awarded to the outstanding interior lineman in college football, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America.
