PHILADELPHIA – Former Temple tight end Randy Grossman (1971-73) has been selected for induction to the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame & Museum, the organization announced on Friday.
The induction ceremony will be held on April 21, 2013, at the Suffolk Y Jewish Community Center in Commack, N.Y., the home of the Hall of Fame.
The National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame & Museum is dedicated to honoring Jewish athletes, coaches, broadcasters and others who have distinguished themselves in the world of sports.
A three-year starter for the Owls, Grossman was a three-year letterman under coach Wayne Hardin. As a junior in 1972, he earned Associated Press All-East honors.
Named to the Associated Press Third-Team All-America team in 1973, Grossman helped the Owls to a 9 -1 record as a senior. He had three 100-yard receiving performances. He was invited to play in the North-South Game following his senior season.
On the career charts, Grossman stands No. 10 in receiving yards (1,505) and No. 16 in receptions (79) with 10 touchdowns. He was Temple's leading receiver in 1971 (473 yards, 27 receptions, 3 TDs) and in 1973 (683 yards, 39 receptions, 4 TDs). His 683 yards rank No. 11 amongst the season yardage leaders.
Grossman was inducted into the Temple Sports Hall of Fame in 1986.
Following graduation, Grossman was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent and helped the team win four Super Bowls (Jan. 1975, 76, 79, 80). He played eight seasons with the Steelers. He set personal marks with 37 receptions during the 1978 season for 441 yards, and he caught a touchdown pass in Pittsburgh's 21-17 victory over Dallas in Super Bowl X.
