ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Grand Valley State University honored legendary five-sport athlete Jamie Hosford Wednesday as it dedicated its new football center in his name.
Hosford won 12 varsity letters in football, wrestling, golf, baseball and track before graduating from GVSU in 1978. He died in 2014 at the age of 58.
“To see dad’s old jersey out there is just incredible,” Hosford’s son, Dan Hosford, said. “And what a facility this is. And to have dad’s name on there for all time is just an incredible honor for our family.”
“He would be so humbled by this. He loved this university … and just would want the best for these players and for this university,” Hosford’s second son, Tom Hosford, said.
The building is 22,000 square feet with a new locker room and larger athletic training and rehab space.
