Mick Tingelhoff will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on August 8 and will be speaking at the Lexington Middle School Auditorium at 7:00 pm on Saturday, July 18, 2015.

Henry Michael “Mick” Tingelhoff was born May 22, 1940, in Lexington, Nebraska. He was an all-american, all-state and all-conference center as a senior at Lexington High School in 1957. Tingelhoff was a three-year letter-man as a center for the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers in 1959, 1960 and 1961 and was an anchor on the Cornhusker offensive line at the end of Coach Bill Jennings’ tenure at NU.

Mick Tingelhoff, an undrafted free agent from Nebraska, became a fixture on the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive line for 17 seasons. He was a five-time first-team All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowl selection who never missed a start (240) or a practice from the time he joined the Vikings as an undrafted rookie lineman from Nebraska until he retired after the 1978 season.
