A stand-out defensive back for the Miami football team from 1976-79, Kirk Springs was a two-time First-Team All-MAC selection for the Red and White in 1978 and 1979. He earned Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America honors as a senior in 1979. Springs led Miami in punt returns in 1977 and 1978, while leading the team in interceptions in 1978. He helped Miami to a 10-1 season in 1977 and a 5-0 MAC record en route to a conference title. Following his Miami career, Springs went on to play in the National Football League, playing with the New York Jets from 1981-85 and finishing his career with the Indianapolis Colts in 1987.
