By racking up 18 interceptions, 120 tackles, and 17 pass break-ups over his career as a defensive back, Brad Bohn (Bennington, Neb.) helped make the Nebraska Wesleyan defense one of the most feared in the NIAC.  At the time of his graduation, Bohn had the most career interceptions, a mark that stood until last season.  Currently he ranks second on the all-time charts in career interceptions and most interceptions in a season.  In 1988 and 1989 he was named honorable mention All-NIAC and in 1990 he earned Second-Team All-NIAC honors.  He was also named a First-Team NAIA All-American in 1990, First-Team Champion All-American in 1990, and All-Nebraska for his stellar senior season.

Not only did Bohn experience much individual success at Nebraska Wesleyan, but NWU had a 30-11 record during Bohn’s career and earned three straight NIAC Championships by winning the conference championship in 1988, 1989, and 1990.  He helped lead the Plainsmen to back-to-back appearances in the NAIA Playoffs in 1988 and 1989.  In 1989 Bohn helped lead arguably the best football squad in school history to the second round of the national tournament by beating Chadron State College 46-43 in a double-overtime thriller.  Bohn finished his career with 120 tackles, 18 interceptions, 17 pass break-ups, two fumble recoveries, and one defensive touchdown.
