Catching Up With … Ex-Terps basketball star Will Hetzel L’66

Baltimore Sun

Excerpt–” At 67, Will Hetzel writes poetry, speaks his liberal mind and revels in the psychedelic music of the late Richie Havens and The Jefferson Airplane. That he did the same in 1968, as a Maryland basketball star, caused quite a stir in College Park. 

Hetzel, a springy 6-foot-6 forward from Washington, D.C., carried the Terps, averaging 23.3 points per game — still the second-best single-season mark in school history. He also wore long hair, a beard and sandals around campus. Hetzel had 24 rebounds, then a Maryland record, in a victory over West Virginia and twice made second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference. He also embraced a counterculture lifestyle, used drugs and railed against mainstream America.  

…Nowadays Hetzel lives quietly on a farm in Purcellville, Va. He sells his own organic produce, plays chess and teaches English at Northern Virginia Community College, where students call him Dr. Hetzel, unaware of the fuss that surrounded him in his playing days.”
