Tim Freeman was a NFL player (maybe Indianpolis), he went to Penn
State, not sure of when, perhaps in the late 80's -- [1] would like
some stats, bio, achievements, positions played, etc. [2]if possible
looking for highlishts from highschool to the NFL

jim1946-ga,

Thanks for contacting Google Answers!

The hints from other researchers were very helpful here.  First, he
did not play in the NFL under the Colts, according to a search
performed by someone at the Colts' general office.  He was not ever on
a roster there according to Bill [Brooks?] in the general office 
Training camp records were not available, however.

He isn't in Total Football II, as mwalcoff-ga states.

He did win the Maginnis Award, in 1989, and the Red Worrell Award, in
1987. (Penn State Athletics).

He was a player at Penn State (according to the Sports Information
Office) from 87-89.  He was from Summit, NJ and was a Master's
Candidate.

(It's possible he played in earlier years but since he wasn't a
letterman in those years, he may not be recorded.)

I'm still waiting for a call back from the Sports Archivist at PSU to
find out the high school details, but you could pursue this
information yourself.  I will annotate my answer if I get that call
back.  The Sports Information Department claims he didn't go to the
NFL but suggested the press information from the Sports Archivist
might report a different story.

Joe Paterno was indeed the coach for all the years Freeman played.

Good luck!

Thanks,

Is this possible? Can it be checked? -- He might have
been on the team in the preseason or been on the team in the regular
season but without playing.

The Colts gentleman I talked to seemed to think no.  It's very
possible the coach has private records.  I can however, confirm for
you that he was not playing in the regular season on the Colts team,
nor was he even on the bench during those periods of time (according
to the individual at the Colts office.)

Clues for researchers:

The Richard Maginnis Memorial Award is presented to the outstanding
Penn State offensive lineman who exemplifies the spirit, dedication
and commitment which Maginnis displayed as a member of the 1980-83
Nittany Lion teams. The award was established by the members of the
1982 National Championship team in memory of Maginnis.
Awarded to Tim Freeman 1989

Concord Michigan High School football coach Tim Freeman

scout in Georgia, named Tim Freeman

RE: 9/11  Paterno knows that his former players who worked in the
nearby financial district --guys like John Shaffer, Trey Bauer, Matt
Johnson, Tim Freeman

Additional Clues:
Tim Freeman from Virginia Beach, VA, played at Penn State from
1985-1989 as a defensive tackle.  He worked/works at Merril Lynch.

This is the man -- Tim Freeman from Virginia Beach, VA, played at Penn State from
1985-1989 as a defensive tackle.  He worked/works at Merril Lynch.

Here is some more information:

At PSU, Freeman:

Started 4 games in 1987
Lettered in 1988 and started 8 games
Lettered and started in all games in 1989

Correction. He played offensive tackle.  The only stats I could find
were what he had one tackle in 1989.  As an offenive tackle, there are
not going to be too many statistics avaialble.

Are you sure Tim Freeman played in the NFL? He is not listed in Total
Football II, the official player record of the NFL. He only would be
listed if he played in a regular-season or playoff game. He might have
been on the team in the preseason or been on the team in the regular
season but without playing. I don't see him listed as a draft pick for
any team in 1990. Incidentally, since Freeman is still alive
(according to the York Daily Record article), you probably can try to
find him yourself through Merrill Lynch. You also should try the
Sports Information Department at Penn State, who could tell you where
he went to high school, along with other information.

Freeman told me he played in the nFL -- I want to be sure before we go
forward with a deal. I am having a hard time fining the info -- said
he was with indianpolis.
