(KNOX) – Former University of North Dakota and Minnesota Vikings tight end Jim Kleinsasser is a nominee for The National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.
Kleinsasser was voted a First Team All-American by three publications in 1998 and was a first team member by two publications in 1997 while at UND. He caught 10 touchdown passes… including a memorable 77-yard runway against NDSU.
Kleinsasser secured First Team All-North Central Conference honors in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and remains the highest drafted UND player to be selected in the NFL Draft.
