Cornell College

Ehresman was a big play waiting to happen on the grid iron from 1992-95, during which the Rams captured two MWC championships and boasted a 32-6 record.
 
The Marion, Iowa, native was voted the 1995 MWC South Division Offensive Player of the Year while earning first team all-conference honors at running back and return specialist. Ehresman was a nominee for the 1995 Melberger Award (Division III Player of the Year) following a season in which he ranked No. 8 nationally in kick return average (28.5 ypa) and No. 10 for punt return average (13.9 ypa).  
 
Ehresman is Cornell’s career leader for yards per rush (8.3) and yards per punt return (13.8). In 1994, he finished No. 10 in the country for all-purpose yards (174.0 ypg). Ehresman’s explosiveness was on full display in the 1994 MWC South Division title game against Coe, when he rushed 13 times for 232 yards, highlighted by an 88-yard touchdown on Cornell’s first play from scrimmage.
 
Ehresman, a 1994 second team all-MWC return specialist, amassed 3,784 all-purpose yards and scored 25 touchdowns as a Ram. He netted 1,556 rushing yards on only 186 career carries. As a junior, Ehresman averaged 9.8 yards on 65 rushing attempts.
 
Ehresman was a member of the perfect 10-0 MWC championship team in 1992. He was co-captain of the 1995 squad that was crowned MWC champions with a 9-1 overall record. Ehresman was celebrated as Cornell’s 1996 Paul K. Scott Senior Male Athlete of the Year.
