The ‘Moose of the Palouse’ played for the Cougars from 1958-60. After joining the Cougars as a quarterback originally, he would line up at running back and would punt as well.
During his time in Pullman playing for the Cougars, Lincoln’s team would go 17-12-1 and he would become the school’s all-time leading rusher with 1,501 yards. He would get in the record books as a punter as well when he averaged 43.9 yards per punt in 1959 and would finish out his career with a 40.3 career punting average.
