Troy Pribnow was one of the most dominant defensive players in Wayne State College football history, earning national recognition as an All-American and helping lead the Wildcats to one of the most successful seasons in program history.
A two-time First Team All-NSIC selection, Pribnow capped his career with a standout senior season in 2008, earning All-America honors from five different organizations, including First Team recognition from the American Football Coaches Association. He led the NSIC with 14 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries, ranking among the national leaders in both sacks and tackles for loss.
Pribnow played a key role in turning around the Wayne State program, helping guide the Wildcats from a 3-8 record during his freshman season to a 9-3 mark as a senior. That season, Wayne State earned a share of the NSIC South Division title and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time in program history. As a junior, he also helped lead the Wildcats to a postseason appearance in the Mineral Water Bowl.
He finished his career with 29 sacks, ranking fourth in school history, and remains one of the most disruptive defensive players to compete in the conference.
Following his playing career, Pribnow has worked in the agricultural industry and currently serves as a location manager for Midwest Farmers Cooperative in Nebraska.
