LOGAN, Utah — Former Utah State football standout, athletics director and Hall of Famer Dave Kragthorpe died Sunday at age 93, ending a career in college athletics that began in Logan more than seven decades ago. Kragthorpe and his wife, Barbara, had been living in an assisted living facility in Montgomery, Texas, near their grandson, Christopher. A fall several weeks ago contributed to his passing. A native of Minnesota, Kragthorpe came to Logan in the early 1950s and played football at Utah State from 1951-54. A two-way tackle, he earned All-Skyline Conference Eight honors twice and was later selected to Utah State’s All-Century football team. Kragthorpe also spent two seasons as a catcher for the Aggies’ baseball team. He graduated from Utah State in 1955 with bachelor’s degrees in physical education and recreation education. After serving two years in the U.S. Navy, Kragthorpe later returned to USU and earned a master’s degree in secondary education in 1963. The New York Giants selected Kragthorpe in the 16th round of the 1955 NFL draft, and he played one season with the team. His coaching career eventually took him from the high school ranks to several college programs. Kragthorpe coached at Idaho Falls
