Jeff Court ’91 was an All-America offensive lineman in football. The top blocker on the powerful Bishop teams of 1989 and 1990, he capped his career with first-team All-America honors on the Football Gazette and Champion teams. As a senior, he was a first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference pick after Ohio Wesleyan ranked third in the nation in rushing offense (333.3 yards/game) on the way to a 9-1 record. As a junior, he was a first-team All-NCAC choice and a third-team All-America selection by the Football Gazette as the Bishops went 8-1-1 and missed a playoff bid on the final day of the season. He was a second-team All-NCAC pick as a sophomore. During his 4 years, the Bishops compiled a record of 28-11-1, shared the NCAC championship in 1989 and twice were ranked in the top 20 in NCAA Division III. Also an 8-time All-NCAC performer in the weight events, he placed second in both the shot put and discus in the NCAC outdoor meet and third in the shot at the indoor meet as the Bishops swept both championships in 1990. He was second in the shot put at both indoor and outdoor meets as a sophomore in helping the Bishops to the 1989 NCAC indoor title and a runner-up finish decided on the final race outdoors.
