Hall of Fame
Kirk was a four-year defensive starter on the Tiger football team including both Knute Rockne Bowl squads in 1970 and 1971. On the gridiron, he earned All-State and All Mason-Dixon Conference honors as a senior and helped lead the Tigers to their first ever 10-0 season in 1971. That same year the defensive tackle anchored a talented unit that led the nation in total and scoring defense. Kirk was also a member of the College’s wrestling team and finished fourth overall in the 1970 Mason-Dixon Tournament.  He is the major benefactor for the Kirk Athletic Center, which has profoundly improved the lives of coaches and student athletes at Hampden-Sydney. He has served on the Athletic Committee of the Board of Trustees for five years.
