Omaha, Neb., native Chuck Chevalier was a dominant lineman for Nebraska Wesleyan in the early 1970s.
Chevalier was a centerpiece for some of the best defensive units in Nebraska Wesleyan history, lettering four times from 1971 to 1974. Teams for which he competed still rank first (1973), second (1971) and fourth (1974) in total defense on the NWU all-time charts.
In fact, the 1973 squad, which finished 4-3-1 and placed second in the conference, allowed just 169.9 yards per game, third lowest in the nation for NCAA Division III that season. NWU also held its opponents to just 86.3 yards per game rushing in 1973, a mark which ranks second in team history.
From his nose guard position, Chevalier was named All-Conference, Lincoln Journal Star All-State College, and the team’s Outstanding Defensive Lineman in 1973 and 1974. As a senior, he was selected and served as co-captain. During his time at Nebraska Wesleyan, Chevalier also competed on the track and field team and earned three varsity letters.
