Jon Beutjer
Edit Profile
Career
He began his college football career at the University of Iowa, ending Iowa"s 19-game losing streak with a victory over Michigan State in his first collegiate start during the 2000 season. Beutjer joined the Iowa basketball team as a walk-on, seeing very limited action in six games during the 2000-2001 season. During the summer of 2001, Beutjer with roommate and fellow football teammate Sam Aiello got in a dispute over a cable bill, which resulted in Beutjer being knocked unconscious in a parking lot requiring three of his teammates to pull Aiello off of the unconscious Beutjer.
Beutjer loved Iowa and his teammates, but was forced into making a very difficult decision and he wound up transferring to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
After sitting out the 2001 season per National Collegiate Athletic Association transfer rules, he started for the Illini during the 2002 and 2003 seasons. He was granted a 6th year of eligibility in 2004, where he split playing time with sophomore Brad Bower.
After finishing his college football career, Beutjer played in the Arena Football League and Canadian Football League. In 2008 he signed on with the All American Football League for Team Michigan.
However, as of 2011 the league has not gotten off the ground.
