Hall of Fame
- Highlights: Two-time first team All-PSAC running back, team captain of one of the best teams in program history on the 1998 national semifinalist team, still the SRU record holder for career carries and ranked No. 3 in program history in career rushing yards.
Rick Magulick, who was affectionately known as "the mudder" for his ability to rack up huge chunks of yards on wet, muddy grass fields, takes his place in the Hall of Fame after serving as the starting running back during one of the most impactful four-year stretches in Rock football history.
He appeared in 49 games over four seasons from 1995-98 and racked up 3,611 rushing yards and 38 rushing touchdowns on 756 carries, finishing his career averaging an impressive 4.8 yards per carry. He also grabbed 29 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns to finish his career with 3,817 all-purpose yards and 40 touchdowns.
His 756 carries still rank as the most in a career in program history, while his 3,611 rushing yards are the third most in SRU history. He also ranks fourth all-time in rushing TD (38), fifth in total TD (40) and tied for seventh in total points scored (242).
Magulick was named to first team All-PSAC honors in both 1997 and 1998 after leading The Rock to appearances in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. He ran for 1,131 yards and 15 touchdowns in 1997 and followed that up with 1,171 yards and 11 touchdowns in 1998. He served as team captain in 1998 and led The Rock to an historic upset over No. 2 ranked Indiana (Pa.) during the regular season, launching a deep postseason run that saw SRU reach the national semifinals for the first time in program history.
Off the field, Magulick was a stellar student and picked up PSAC Fall Top 10 honors while also being recognized as a finalist for the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. He earned his degree in elementary and special education from The Rock in 1999 and went on to add a master's degree in special education from Saint Francis University in 2004.
Magulick currently serves as a special education teacher at Central Cambria High School, where he also coaches a variety of sports. He has coached sports from the elementary school level to the collegiate level, including a four-year stint as an assistant football coach at Saint Franics University. He has also coached track & field, baseball and basketball, leading multiple teams to conference titles and undefeated seasons.
In addition to his coaching, Magulick is also a certified NCAA official, which has allowed him to officiate numerous district playoff games and District 6 Championship games.
Magulick and his wife, Amanda, reside in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania with their four children, Kayden, Kendall, Kylee and Kruz.
