Bob Beemer played defensive end on teams that had a combined overall record of 28-14-1 from 1982-85, including a MAC Championship in 1984. Beemer twice earned All-MAC honors and was a team captain as a senior.  In his sophomore season, Beemer started in all 11 games, finishing third on the team in tackles (96) and first in tackles for loss (13). He also recovered three fumbles and caused two more. In 1984 injuries limited his playing time. However, he still led the Rockets with 14 tackles for loss and was named second-team All-MAC, anchoring a defense that allowed the fewest rushing yards per game during a season in UT history (98.4). As a senior in 1985, Beemer totaled 15 tackles for loss and was named first-team All-MAC. He was also awarded the Nicholson Trophy, an honor given to "the player contributing most toward the success of the team."  Beemer finished his collegiate career with 270 tackles, including 73 tackles for loss, the most in school history.
