Eldon Fortie

Eldon Fortie was a college football player at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. He was the first BYU football player to be named to a first-team All-America squad.

Although Fortie was a quarterback, BYU ran the single wing offense at the time; consequently, Fortie was primarily a running back. He was selected to play in several all-star games after the 1962 season, including the North-South Bowl in Miami, the Hula Bowl, the All-American Game in Tucson, and the Coaches All-American Bowl.

After graduation Fortie played one year in the Canadian Football League, with the Edmonton Eskimos.
