Tim Peterson set the standard for all UW-Stout quarterbacks to follow. Peterson led the Blue Devils football team from 1986-89. After latching onto the starting role, Peterson began to rack up numbers that eventually would set 16 school records.
With Peterson at the command of a high powered offense, the Blue Devils led the NCAA Division III in passing in 1987. Peterson finished his career with 8,881 passing yards and 9,703 yards in total offense, both still school records that will be hard pressed to be broken.
After leaving Stout, Peterson played with the Orlando Thunder of the short-lived World League of American Football, and had tryouts with the Minnesota Vikings and in the Canadian Football League. Upon completion of his playing career in Europe, Peterson turned to coaching with the Swedish national team, then returned to Minnesota as an assistant coach at Hutchinson High School.
Peterson currently resides in Hutchinson, Minn., where he is employed as a process engineer for Hutchinson Technology.
