Camp Randall 100: Dave Schreiner

The Camp Randall 100 is an exclusive list celebrating 100 people who have shaped Camp Randall Stadium's history across the realms of sports, music, culture and beyond. A new honoree will be revealed each day over the final 100 days leading up to kickoff of the Wisconsin football team's season opener with Utah State on Friday, Sept. 1. The Camp Randall 100 reveal is part of a year-long celebration of the history of the iconic stadium, which opened in 1917.

MADISON, Wis. — The life of one of the Wisconsin football program's brightest stars came to an end in the final hours of what became one of the bloodiest conflicts of World War II. Among the 14,000 American soldiers killed in the Battle of Okinawa was 24-year-old from Lancaster, Wisconsin, named Dave Schreiner.

Less than three years earlier, Schreiner had been named Big Ten MVP and a consensus All-American as captain of a Badgers team that went 8-1-1 and was declared the 1942 national champion by the Helms Foundation.
