Collegiate career

Klier was named a consensus first-team All-American in 1944 as he notched Notre Dame's single-season scoring record (since broken). However, Klier missed the 1944–45 season as he served in the United States Navy during World War II. Klier returned and was again named a consensus first-team All-American in 1946.[1]
