TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State football alum and former All-American defensive lineman Dan Brandenburg was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame over the past week.
 
The Sycamore legend was voted in from the Region Four by the Past Presidents of the IFCA and was a member of the 29-member class inducted into the IFCA Hall of Fame.
 
Brandenburg, a 2013 Indiana State Hall of Fame inductee, was a sack specialist for the Indiana State football team from 1993-95. He posted 215 career tackles (116 solo, 99 assisted) and still holds the school career record with 32 sacks. Brandenburg also set the school record for sacks in a season with 13 during his sophomore campaign.
 
A three-time selection to the All-Gateway Conference team (1993, 1994, 1995), Brandenburg was named to several All-American teams during his career. He was selected to the first team by the American Football Coaches Association along with a second team selection by the Associated Press and Don Hansen's Football Guide after his junior campaign. He was named to First Team by The Sporting News and American Football Quarterly after his senior season along with a third team selection by the Associated Press and an honorable mention selection by Don Hansen's Football Guide.
 
He was named to the Missouri Valley Football Conference's Silver Anniversary team in 2009 along with running back David Wright, defensive lineman Shannon Jackson, and defensive lineman Kyle Mitchell.
 
Brandenburg was selected in the seventh round of the National Football League's player draft by the Buffalo Bills. He was the only Gateway Conference player taken in the draft. He played three seasons with the Bills and appeared in 42 games and started one while accumulating 13 tackles, one assist, and one fumble recovery.
 
Brandenburg played in the 1995 Blue-Gray All-Star Football Game, becoming just the third Indiana State player to earn a trip to the Christmas Day Classic joining Vencie Glenn and Craig Shaffer. He also participated in the NFL's Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
 
He is currently a trainer for Athletes First and has mentored NFL stars like linebacker Micah Parsons.
