Kansas Sports Hall inductee: Terry Beeson

Beeson set Seattle Seahawks records for single-game and single-season tackles as a rookie in 1977, and in eight years as part of the Coffeyville Community College coaching staff, he experienced two national championships.

“I played six years in the NFL and two years in the USFL – that’s eight years,” said Beeson, a Coffeyville native.
