Steve Luetjen '79 was a four-year member of the Central Methodist Football program from 1975-78. A standout gridiron athlete, he helped lead Central to its first Heart of America Conference Championship during his freshman season in 1975. As a junior, in 1977, he set the single-season program record with 17 total touchdowns and followed that up with 17 receiving touchdowns in 1978, also a program record. He, along with teammates Tom Stine, Eric Trelz, and Thomas Brummitt were recognized as NAIA Division II First Team All-Americans in 1977. The trio of Stine, Trelz and Luetjen formed one of the best passing attacks in the country during the late 70’s and arguably the best in the history of Central Methodist Football. Steve and his father, Dr. James M. Luetjen are both CMU Hall of Fame Members.
