Career
Feldhausen was a nine letterwinner and MVP of both the football and basketball teams at Iron Mountain High School in 1963-64. Feldhausen then attended Northland College in Wisconsin where he was two-time football captain and Little All-America lineman in 1966-67, eventually being inducted to the Northland Sports Hall of Fame in 1991.[1] He also became the first recipient of the Voltaire Perkins award as Most Valuable Player for the Northland College football team.[2]
Feldhausen was selected in the 11th round of the 1968 NFL/AFL draft to the Boston Patriots.[3] He played as a tackle for the team for three seasons, but only played in two games, both in the 1968 season.[4] After three years with the Patriots, he suffered a back injury in a blocking dummy accident and subsequently had to retire from the league.[2]
After retiring, he spent 40 years as a football and baseball official for the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, and was the 1993 National Federation of State High School Associations Umpire of the Year.[1]
