Allan, Dodd, Robinson tabbed for Whitworth
Heritage Gallery Induction
SPOKANE — A student-athlete, coach and an administrator, all of whom made impacts on Whitworth athletics, will comprise the school’s 24th induction class of the Heritage Gallery Hall of Fame.
Michael Allan, a record-setting tight end drafted to the NFL, will join former swimming coach Tom Dodd and former Whitworth president William (Bill) Robinson as the incoming class set for induction on Oct. 5.
Allan finished with school records for individual season touchdown receptions (15 in 2005), career touchdown receptions (29) and career yards per catch (18.7), finishing with 118 receptions for 2,202 yards.
He was a consensus All-American in 2006 and a D3football.com and AFCA Division III All-American in 2005 and was invited to play in the 2007 East-West Shrine Classic and was selected in the seventh round of the NFL draft by Kansas City.
As a senior, Allan helped lead Whitworth to a 10-0 regular season and into the second round of the Division III playoffs.
Dodd coached Whitworth swimming for 16 seasons (1987-2003), earning NAIA men’s Coach of the Year in 1996 after the Pirates finished runner-up at the national championships and was Northwest Conference Coach of the Year eight times. He is currently the head swimming and diving coach at California Lutheran University.
Robinson served as the 17th president in school history from 1993 to 2010. Along with other school presidents, he helped spearhead Whitworth’s (and the Northwest Conference’s) transition from the NAIA to the NCAA in the mid-90s. He joins former president Frank Warren as the second chief administrator selected to the Heritage Gallery.
The class will join a group of 77 individuals and eight teams already enshrined in the Heritage Gallery during a breakfast ceremony beginning at 9 a.m. and will be recognized at halftime of the Whitworth-Pacific (Ore.) football game that afternoon.
