Murray State Hall of Fame

When he left Murray State in 1989, Michael Proctor had rewritten the Racers' passing records and that of the OVC. Playing for Coach Frank Beamer and then Mike Mahoney, Proctor set the gold standard for the quarterbacks that have come through the Racer Football program since. Although a chance to play in the National Football League (NFL) never materialized, Proctor had unique experience of playing six seasons in the colorful and quirky World League of American Football (WLAF), Canadian Football League (CFL) and the Arena Football League. One of only two players to have their jersey numbers retired in MSU history, Proctor was inducted into the Murray State Hall of Fame in 2000. Today he also talks about how baseball was part of the original plan with MSU and how his Murray State degree has led him to a successful career in Occupational Safety and Health.
