Bloomsburg Athletics

Tim Baer was a four-year starter at guard from 1995 to 1998 and helped pave the way for an offense that powered Bloomsburg to a 32–11–1 record over that span. During his tenure, the Huskies captured three PSAC Eastern Division titles and made an NCAA playoff appearance, solidifying the program's place among the region's elite.

His individual accolades are equally impressive. Baer earned All-PSAC East honors in each of his four seasons, including three consecutive First Team selections from 1996 to 1998. He was a three-time All-American, earning recognition from multiple national organizations including CoSIDA, AP, Daktronics, and the Football Gazette. He was a First Team CoSIDA Academic All-American in 1996 and was honored by the AP as a First Team guard in 1997 and by the Football Gazette as a First Team All-American guard in 1998. 

In 1997, Baer's excellence in the trenches helped lead teammate Irv Sigler to the Harlon Hill Award, presented annually to the top player in NCAA Division II football. Baer's powerful blocking and on-field leadership made him a cornerstone of the Huskies' offensive unit and a model of consistency throughout his career. During the 1997 season, the Huskies rushed for 2,777 yards on 494 attempts, including 2,038 by Sigler, and had 4,207 total yards of offense. The Huskies had 41 total touchdowns that season.
