- Class:
- 1927
LaVern Dilweg is the first M Club Hall of Fame member to posthumously earn induction after standout careers on the gridiron, in the courtroom and in the United States Congress.
Dilweg participated in the first East-West Shrine Game as one of the top ends in college football and was the first Marquette football player to earn All-America mention when Walter Eckersall bestowed the honor upon him following his senior season. While at MU, Dilweg led the Golden Avalanche to two undefeated seasons and an overall record of 28-4-1. The Milwaukee native also started at center on the 1924-25 basketball team and threw shot put for the track and field team.
Dilweg finished his law degree while playing professionally for the Milwaukee Badgers of the National Football League. Once the Badgers folded, Dilweg moved to Green Bay where he played with the Packers from 1927-34 and earned all-NFL recognition all but one season while helping the Packers to three consecutive NFL Championships (1929-31).
He is a member of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and was included on the NFL's 17-member All-Decade Team for the 1920s with early professional football icons Curly Lambeau, Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, Ernie Nevers and George Halas.
Dilweg also served as a United States Congressman from Wisconsin's 8th District and was appointed to the U.S. Foreign Claims commission by U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
