#54 Guard/Defensive Lineman: 2004-2007
Robert is one of the most decorated and dominant linemen in Mineral Point history. He saw
playing time at defensive tackle in 2004 and started on the defensive and offensive lines in
2005 as an underclassman. Robert was a starter at offensive guard and defensive end in 2006
and 2007 during his junior and senior seasons. In 2007, Robert led his team to level 3 of the
playoffs before being knocked off by conference and sectional champion Fennimore in a hard
fought 27-14 game.
Robert had 129 career tackles, including 34 tackles for loss. He ended his career with 13.5
sacks, which ranks him 5th all-time. In addition, Robert was given the opportunity to carry the
ball on offense a few times, and scored a touchdown and two 2 point conversions during his
senior season.
Robert was selected to the 2nd team all-conference offensive line, as a sophomore. As a
junior, he was a 1st team all conference offensive and defensive lineman, and a Dodgeville
Chronicle all area lineman. As a senior, Robert was again selected to the 1st team all
conference squad on both sides of the ball again, and was chosen by the coaches as the 2007
SWAL II Lineman of the Year, and the 2007 SWAL II Defensive Player of the Year. Additionally,
he was the Dodgeville Chronicle lineman and defensive player of the year, Telegraph Herald 1st
team all area, and Wisconsin State Journal 2nd team all area selection. Robert played in the
2008 WFCA All-Star game, which was the last year of only one division for the All-Stars.
Robert's favorite memory from his playing days was defeating Darlington 7-6 his senior year in
the "mud bowl" game, as Jordan Tibbits caught the winning touchdown in a downpour late in
the game to pull out the victory. He fondly remembers playing for varsity assistant coach Jeff
Bindl, and the fun they had doing line drills in practice.

Robert lives in Chicago, and is working in consulting.
