Michael Iver Stensrud (February 19, 1956 – August 23, 2024) was an American professional football player who was a defensive lineman for five teams in 11 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He wrestled for Lake Mills High School, winning the unlimited heavyweight bracket in the state tournament.[1] He played college football for the Iowa State Cyclones, also tried out for the Cyclones wrestling team,[2] and was selected in the second round of the 1979 NFL draft.[3][4]
After retiring from professional football, Stensrud lived in Houston, Texas. At his wife Laura's urging, Stensrud moved back to his hometown of Lake Mills, Iowa, where he worked at a lumber yard.[5] In 2000, Stensrud was inducted into the Iowa State Cyclones Hall of Fame.[6]
Stensrud coached the Lake Mills High football team while his son Andy played.[5] Andy was also recruited by Iowa State University as a basketball player.[7] During Andy's stint on the Iowa State Cyclones football team, he roomed with J. J. Moses.[8] Andy Stensrud was not selected in the 2001 NFL draft, signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent,[9] joined the New York Giants for training camp the following season,[10][11] and was signed by the Houston Texans in 2003.[12]
Stensrud had two other sons, Kevin and Michael.[13]
Stensrud served on the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors from 2009 to 2020.[14][15] Stensrud, a Republican, was unopposed in his 2012 reelection bid,[16] faced Gary Ludwig in the 2016 Republican Party primary and Democratic candidate Mike Huan in the subsequent general election,[17][18] then defeated Huan again in 2020.[19]
Stensrud died in Lake Mills, Iowa, on August 23, 2024, at the age of 68.[20][21]
