A fullback at SIU, Loukas was a rugged ball carrier who piled up 1,427 yards on the ground, ending his career as the school’s third all-time leading rusher trailing only Hall of Famers Amos Bullocks and Carver Shannon. His 1,052 rushing yards in 1971 was the second-best total in school history and included a 224-yard rushing performance versus Wichita State. He also topped 100 yards against Indiana State, Arkansas State and Drake that season. The team did not compete in a conference during Loukas’ career, but it posted a 12-7 record during his sophomore and junior seasons, including wins over Louisville, East Carolina and Arkansas State.
