The 1996 Blinn Buccaneers football team was an American football team that represented Blinn College of Brenham, Texas, as a member of the Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) during the 1996 junior college football season. In their fourth and final year under head coach Willie Fritz, the Buccaneers compiled a 12–0 record (6–0 in conference games), defeated Coffeyville in the Mineral Water Bowl, and won the NJCAA National Football Championship. The Buccaneers also won the 1995 national championship and were the first program to win back to back NJCAA National Football Championships.[1][2]

Fritz was named SJCFC coach of the year, and lineman Hanson Caston was selected as the SJCFC most valuable player. Multiple Blinn players received first-team honors on the 1996 All-SJCFC football team: running back Vaughn Inniss; fullback Wayne Limbrick; center Frank Firestone; guard Lamont Barrett; tackle Jay Olive; punter John Baker; and return specialist Brandon Harrison; defensive end Craig Koontz; defensive lineman Hanson Caston; inside linebacker Michael Jackson; outside linebacker Eric Anderson; and cornerback Brandon Harrison.[3]
