Kevin Downs was inducted into the Benedictine University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011 as a student-athlete.

Downs, who earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1972, was a four-year starter and three-time team captain under Illinois Benedictine College Hall of Fame football coach Tom Beck, whose teams were some of the most successful in school history.

Downs still owns the school career punt return mark at 18.5 yards per return.

As a junior and senior, Downs led Benedictine to 14 wins after the Eagles had won just three games the previous two seasons. Downs also served as an assistant coach for three seasons following his graduation.
