Robert Santiago, Jay Class of '82

Robert Santiago, class of '82, was the John Jay H.S. Valedictorian. Athletically, Robert was clearly gifted as well. He was a hurdler extraordinaire in track and the star starting quarterback on one of Jay's most explosive football teams.

Robert went to Harvard and set all kinds of football records as a running back for the Crimson. He was a two-time All-Ivy League selection in 1984 and 1985 and ranks 6th on Harvard's all-time rushing list. Robert's 5.1 yards-per-carry avg is the best in school history. You will see the Santiago name on Harvard's Top 10 single-season rushing yards list not once, but twice. If you look at Harvard's Top 10 single-game rushing performances, you will also see Robert Santiago's name twice there as well.

After a professional football career in Europe, Robert returned to San Antonio where he owns his own business.
