15 centralight spring '14 Dan LeFevour, '10 Burlington, Ontario Quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League What he was known for at CMU: Standout quarterback The backstory: LeFevour was called off the bench to replace an injured quarterback during the fi rst game of the 2006 season against Boston College and soon became a touchdown-scoring machine. The football standout holds all sorts of MAC records and is the only player in National Collegiate Athletic Association history to throw for at least 12,000 yards and rush for over 2,500 yards. But he characteristically shrugs off his campus fame, calling himself "just another guy." "We had a lot of good seasons," he says. "All the championships. Going to the bowl game every year. Beating Michigan State. I loved walking around campus, feeling like you're part of a community, part of something bigger than football." After Central: After graduation, LeFevour bounced around a bit from team to team, which he says was tough. "I went from Chicago to Cincinnati to Indianapolis to Jacksonville to Hamilton in four years," he says. "I lived in fi ve places in less time than I spent at CMU. But that's how this business works." Recently, with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' season hanging in the balance, LeFevour delivered a touchdown run in overtime that rallied Hamilton to a thrilling 19-16 win over the Montreal Alouettes. His touchdown secured Hamilton's fi rst home playoff win since 2001 and prompted his teammates to hoist him onto their shoulders in victory. Canada is cool, but he's still getting used to seeing signs for gas for $1.25. "That's for a liter," he says with a laugh. "It works out to about $5 a gallon for gas. Everything's more expensive here. I'm only an hour from Buff alo, but it still really feels like a diff erent country." He celebrated the New Year in style – getting married to wife, Arica, on New Year's Eve in Mount Pleasant. • 15 centralight spring '14
