Milt was an outstanding blocking back and defensive player on the 1948 Panther state championship football team. The following season, he was named to the "All-State" grid squad and earned the "Panther Best" award as the outstanding WHS athlete. Milt was also district shot put champion, participated in three state track meets, started on the basketball team and completed his prep career with nine letters.
He captured the national spotlight as a University of Washington football player. Milt was the first Husky ever selected as the national "Lineman-of-the-Week" in 1953. He capped that season by earning a spot on the "All-America" team at guard, and was also "All-Coast" and "All-Pacific Coast Conference." Husky teammates honored him with the "Most Inspirational" award and he was selected to play in the Hula Bowl and East-West Shrine all-star football games.
