Hall of Fame
Keith Tarter turned down a Division I football scholarship to attend Centre. By the time he graduated in 1991, Keith owned almost every receiving record in the books. He was a four-year starter and letterman and was elected a captain during his senior year. He was named a first-team all-conference performer in his last three years, once as a tight end and twice as a wide receiver. He led the conference in both receptions and receiving yards his junior and senior seasons. He set the Centre career record for receiving yards - and did it half-way through his junior season. Among the single-game receiving records he set or tied during his career, were 3 touchdown catches in a single game, which he still holds with three other players, and 10 receptions in a single game. He helped lead the Colonels to back-to back conference championships and a combined record of 16-3 in his last two years.
In addition to his exploits on the gridiron, Keith also lettered as a sprinter on the track team.
