St. John Fisher University Athletics Hall of Fame
Jerry DeHey finished his collegiate career as one of the greatest wrestlers in St. John Fisher College history.
DeHey wrestled at 118 and 126 pounds throughout his collegiate career. As a freshman, he led the Cardinals to their first winning season, earning All-State and team MVP honors.
In his sophomore season, DeHey was the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Queens Invitational, earning a win over an Olympian in the championship match. That season, Fisher won its first 10 matches and climbed to 10th in the East Coast and finished the year with a 10-1 overall record.
In his junior and senior seasons, DeHey went undefeated in dual meet action, and during his entire collegiate career he enjoyed a perfect 22-0 record when grappling in the friendly confines of Fisher’s Varsity Gym.
A Brockport native, DeHey graduated from Fisher in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. He and his wife Kip are the proud parents of three children.
