Class:
1957

Jack Daut was one of the pioneers of Rutgers lacrosse, earning three letters from 1955-57. Daut was a two-time First Team All-America selection (1955, 1957), and received the Turnbull Trophy in 1957 as the nation's best attackman. Daut burst onto the scene in 1955 by scoring 41 goals en route to earning All-America honors (first team). He was an honorable mention All-America choice in 1956, before his outstanding senior campaign. Daut tallied 43 goals in 1957, which tied for the nation's lead, and represented Rutgers in the North/South All-Star game. When he graduated, his 43 goals in '57 was a single-season Scarlet Knight record, and was the fourth-best effort in Rutgers lacrosse history at the time of his induction. Currently, he is tied for fifth on the single-season goals list and ranks sixth on the Rutgers career goals list with 113. The Scarlet Knights posted a 24-5-1 record during his three-year career. In 1991, he was elected to the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
