Gordie Lockbaum ’88, two-time Heisman Trophy candidate and Holy Cross Hall of Famer, was recently the subject of an ESPN 30 for 30 Short titled “The Throwback.” The documentary looks back at Lockbaum’s impressive career as a college football player who played both offense and defense — something that had gone out of vogue nearly 20 years before Lockbaum hit the college football field in the 1980s. Lockbaum’s coaches decided to turn back the clock after seeing just how talented he was.
