Ed Heuring led a busy life in
sports and the Marine Corps and he didn't plan to take things easy
after he retired from the Marines on May 1, 1983, with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel. His Marine Corps service included two years in
Vietnam (1966 and 1967). Ed played football for the famous Quantico Marines and later
coached the team for two seasons (1969 and 1970), compiling a 17-5
record exclusively against college teams. At
Rochester High School (1949 to 1953), Ed earned three letters in
football and two each in basketball and track. His football prowess
earned him an athletic scholarship to the University of Maryland,
where he was a star tackle from 1954 to 1956. Ed received honorable
mention in 1955 from the AP, UPI, and
International News Service polls. He was a member of the undefeated
Maryland team that went to the 1956 Orange Bowl only to
lose to Oklahoma, 20-6. After graduating from Maryland in 1957, Ed
played two years as a tackle with the Montreal Alouettes of the
Canadian Football League, then moved to the Denver Broncos in 1960
for the first season of the American Football League, but an injury
ended his playing days and he entered the Marines. In addition to
his criminology degree from Maryland, Ed also has
earned a master's degree in psychology from Northern Colorado
University and a master’s degree in business administration from
Webster College in St Louis.
