Known as one of the toughest, meanest and most physical linemen to ever lace up the cleats for Mizzou, Magac was a second-team all-American in 1959 as a senior. He twice won first-team all-Big Eight Conference recognition as an offensive lineman (1958-59) and was respected as a leader, serving as team co-captain in 1959. That team went 6-5 under second-year coach Dan Devine and reached the 1960 Orange Bowl against Georgia, finishing with a final national ranking of 18th. He represented Mizzou in the 1960 Hula Bowl and the 1960 College All-Star Game, and later went on a seven-year career playing in the NFL from 1960-66, including five years with the San Francisco 49ers and two more with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a second-round draft pick in the 1960 NFL Draft by the 49ers (as the number 16 overall pick) and played in 78 games (starting 22) in his pro career.
