Hall of Fame
Supremely athletic and intense, Mark Udovich was the perfect offensive lineman for Millersville’s vaunted veer offense under Coach Gene Carpenter. Udovich is Millersville's most decorated offensive lineman, holding the rare distinction of earning All-PSAC East First Team honors in all four seasons of his career. Udovich blocked for two different All-American running backs, and Udovich earned that lofty status himself in 1981 as he was voted a Kodak First Team All-American.
In 1981, Millersville deployed the most dominant rushing attack in the NCAA, smashing PSAC records as the offense ran over opponents. The heart of that unstoppable running game was Udovich, who paved the way for 3,552 yards—a mark that still ranks first at Millersville. That season, Millersville ran the ball 590 times and scored 43 rushing touchdowns, establishing a PSAC record that stood for a decade. Against Bloomsburg, the Marauders totaled 559 yards, a total that ranked first in the conference for 36 years.
Udovich's unsung work on the offensive line led Millersville to three-straight PSAC East titles from 1979-81, and he started at center in Millersville's first NCAA Playoff game. He served as a team captain in 1980 and was also the winner of the team’s coveted Triple Effort Award for “attitude, hustle, and desire.”
In 2021, Udovich was recognized in the inaugural Millersville Football Wall of Honor class.
