averaging over 8 yards per carry. Eichelberger scored 200 points that year including 3 on returns, while throwing for another touchdown. He had 13 career interceptions over his career.

He had also set a school record for hits in a season with 42 at Everett as a junior. That helped catch the eyes of college scouts, and in his senior year, he committed to play baseball at Penn State.
