Former NFL QB to Address DSC Colleagues Meeting

This Monday Dixie State College of Utah will host its sixth President’s Colleagues of DSC meeting of the 2009-10 academic year this Monday, March 1, with a presentation by former NFL All-Pro quarterback and St. George resident Jay Schroeder.

The meeting will begin at 12 noon, in Room 156 of the DSC Russell C. Taylor Health Science Center, located on the Dixie Regional Medical Center’s River Road campus at 1526 Medical Center Drive. The meeting is free and open to the public.

Schroeder will discuss his pro career and life after football in his lecture entitled “A Successful Life.” A two-sport athlete, Schroeder was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1979 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, and split his time between playing minor league baseball and playing quarterback at UCLA.

Following his career at UCLA, he was then taken in the third round of the 1984 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins and was named the full-time starter in 1985, during which he broke a franchise record for passing yards with 4,109 en route to his only Pro Bowl appearance. Schroeder was also part of Washington’s 1987 Super Bowl XXII championship team.

In all, Schroeder played for four teams during his 10-year NFL career, including five seasons with the Los Angeles Raiders (1988-92), the Cincinnati Bengals (1993), and the Arizona Cardinals (1994), before retiring in 1995. He finished his career with over 20,000 passing yards and 114 touchdowns. Schroeder will also share his experiences and trials after football, and how his faith and family play a pivotal role in his life today. He was involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), both in Utah and in San Diego, Calif., and has been involved in many Christian and charitable organizations.

In addition, Schroeder is currently coaching football at Desert Hills High School and serves as the team chaplain for the St. George Roadrunners Baseball Club through an organization called Baseball Chapel, which he discovered while playing in the minor leagues. He speaks regularly at schools, churches, Christian organizations and FCA-related events.

The next meeting will be held on Monday, April 5, 2010, featuring a lecture by Dan Watson entitled “A Century of DSC Growth, and its Presidents.”
