Brendan Gaughan: Georgetown University
built 645 days ago
Gaughan attended Georgetown University and played collegiate basketball as a walk-on for the Hoyas with friend, former roommate, and now Denver Nuggets guard Allen Iverson. Gaughan earned All-Conference honors as a placekicker on Georgetown's NCAA Division I-AA football team where he became known as an extra point specialist, converting 39 of 40 extra point attempts during the 1994 season for the highest extra point percentage in Hoya history. He was nicknamed "Baby-Rudy" by the Hoya students because of his walk-on status on the basketball team and his close physical resemblance to Notre Dame Fighting Irish legend Daniel E. "Rudy" Ruettiger, whose story was documented in the 1993 blockbuster hit Rudy.
