Glenn Ressler – Football Legend from Dornsife

Glenn Ressler was from Dorsife, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, a short distance from the Lykens Valley.  He attended Mahanoy Jointure High School and played football for Coach Clyde Miller.  Afterward, he went to Penn State University and from 1962 to 1964 was a center and middle guard playing under Coach Rip Engle.  Ressler was an All-American in 1964 and also won the Maxwell Award as the country’s most outstanding player.  He then spent ten years, 1965-1974, with the Baltimore Colts in the National Football League.  He was an All-Pro in 1968 and received a title ring as Don Shula’s Colts beat the Cleveland Browns.  In the newly-created Super Bowl, he was on the losing side in 1969 [Super Bowl III] when the Colts fell to the New York Jets, but was on the winning side when the Colts defeated the Dallas Cowboys in 1971 [Super Bowl V].
