Ohio State assistant football coach Dick Tressel has been selected for the Minnesota High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, the Hall’s committee announced this week. Tressel, the Buckeyes’ running backs coach, will be inducted with five others at the 42nd Annual Hall of Fame Banquet April 1 in Minneapolis.

Tressel, whose first head coaching position came at Gibsonburg High School (1971-73) in Gibsonburg, Ohio, was the head coach at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minn., for 23 seasons from 1978-2000. While compiling a 124-102-2 record at Hamline with two conference championships, he was active in the Minnesota High School Football Coaches Association. He was named the 1984 Football News Div. III National Coach of the Year and is a member of the Hamline and Berea High School (Berea, Ohio) Halls of Fame.

Tressel is a 1970 graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, where he played for his father, Lee. Along with his father and brother, Jim Tressel, those three comprise the only family of coaches who each have over 100 victories in NCAA football.

The first of Tressel’s many coaching honors came as head coach at Gibsonburg when he was named the conference coach of the year in 1973.

Tressel spent his first three years at Ohio State as associate director of football operations before taking over the running backs in March 2004.
