Offensive Tackle
9th Round
No. 70
Minnesota
"The Stars' 9th round draft choice and the 4th round selection of the Kansas City Chiefs, Herkenhoff was selected Most Valuable Offensive Lineman in the 1974 North-South Game. He was voted the 1973 MVP award by Gopher players and coaches and is considered by pro scouts to be one of the top linemen in the country. Minnesota Head Coach Cal Stoll feels 'Matt is the best offensive lineman I ever coached.'
He was All-State and All-Conference in football and basketball at Melrose (Minnesota) High School. As a tribute to Herkenhoff's athletic prowess, Melrose High School has erected a permanent display of his uniforms and photos. His birthplace is Melrose, Minnesota."
