Although he lettered in both basketball and football, Hellerich was best known for his exploits on the gridiron and became an All-American in that sport. He transferred to Wartburg after playing his first year at William and Mary. He was a two-time All-IIAC and All-NAIA District 15 linebacker, leading the Knights to their 1968 Iowa Conference championship. He was named the league’s Most Valuable Player following that season. He lettered twice in basketball and played on two Iowa Conference championship basketball teams. A football injury cost him his senior season on the hardcourt. He received the Voecks Award his senior year. Before going into business, he was an assistant football coach at South Dakota State, where he also earned a master’s degree in physical education and recreation. Hellerich is the owner of MCI Investments.
