Steve Marlay played defensive line for the Griffons from 1980-83. He was a three-time All-CSIC, a two-time All-District and a two-time honorable mention All-American selection throughout his playing career at Western.
 
He signed a professional contract with the St. Louis Cardinals at the conclusion of his senior campaign but was unable to make the team due to a preseason, career-ending shoulder injury.
