COLLEGE STATION, Texas – A standout on the gridiron and in the classroom, College Station native Kip Corrington will be inducted into the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame at the 41st annual Burgess Banquet on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Hall of Champions in Kyle Field.
A product of A&M Consolidated High School, Corrington was a four-year letterman from 1984-87 and helped the Aggies to a trio of Southwest Conference Championships and trips to the Cotton Bowl. Corrington's senior class was the first to log four straight wins over the archrival Texas Longhorns and helped the Aggies to Cotton Bowl victories over Auburn (1986) and Notre Dame (1988). The Aggies were an impressive 35-12 during his time in Aggieland.
A two-time All-SWC selection as a defensive back, Corrington was even more impressive in the classroom as a three-time Academic All-American. As a senior, he became Texas A&M's first Academic All-American of the Year. In 2003, he became Texas A&M's only member of the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame.
During his Texas A&M academic career, he made all As with one B. He was awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and graduated from Texas A&M's Medical School and completed his residency at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, N.C., where Corrington currently runs a family practice.
After his illustrious collegiate career, Corrington was drafted in the ninth round of the NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. He played for the Broncos during the 1989 and 1990 seasons. His career included an interception during the Broncos' AFC championship game victory against Cleveland in 1990 and an appearance in Super Bowl XXIV.
