Timeline

1922

Tom George Kuzma (April 3, 1922 – May 19, 1996) was an American football player for the University of Michigan.

1937

Harmon graduated in 1937 and enrolled at the University of Michigan.

Kuzma graduated two years later and followed Harmon to Michigan.

Kuzma was six-feet, three-inches tall, and weighed 195 pounds as a player at Michigan.

1941

He was the starting left halfback for Fritz Crisler's Michigan teams in 1941 and 1942.

Kuzma was a native of Gary, Indiana.

He attended Emerson High School in Gary, where he was an all-state fullback and starred in three sports—football, basketball and track.

Football Hall of Famer Tom Harmon also hailed from Gary.

Kuzma followed Harmon as Michigan's principal running back in 1941, and comparisons to Harmon were inevitable.

Kuzma lacked Harmon's blazing speed and was instead a power-runner who ran through and over the opposition.

As NEA Sports Editor Harry Grayson put it, "He's a smacker from Smackersville."

Aside from his ability as a power runner, Kuzma was a good passer, solid defender, and also served as the Wolverines punter and punt returner.

He was considered the Wolverines' best punter since Harry Kipke played for Michigan 20 years earlier.

In a 1941 game against Northwestern, Kuzma punted the ball 53 yards with the ball going out of bounds at the Northwestern four-yard line; Crisler called the kick "miraculous."

In the same game, he threw two touchdown passes, including a 46-yard pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game winner as Michigan edged Northwestern, 14–7.

In his first four games as a starter in 1941, Kuzma scored five touchdowns and passed for two more.

By mid-season, the Associated Press ran a feature story on Kuzma, reporting that "this 19-year-old gridder had surpassed Harmon's sophomore record in scoring, had neared his first-year passing mark and had become one of the Western Conference's greatest kickers."

Kuzma had a solid sophomore year, rushing for an average of 4.3 yards per carry and finishing second in the Big Ten Conference in total offense yards per game.

Kuzma attended the school of business administration at Michigan and was a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

1943

Kuzma was inducted into the military in 1943 and subsequently drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 1944 NFL draft.

After World War II, Kuzma returned to the University of Michigan to complete his degree, but he did not return to the football team.

1947

He graduated in 1947 and chose not to play football professionally but rather served as an assistant football coach at the University of Colorado from 1947–48.

1949

In 1949, Kuzma returned to Michigan and went into the steel business in Detroit.

1979

He remained in the steel business until 1979.

1987

He next co-founded a chemical coatings company where he worked until his retirement in 1987.

He also served as president of the University of Michigan's "M" Club.

Kuzma died at age 74 in Cape Coral, Florida.
