Hall of Fame
A native of Lynch, Ky., Anthony "Rav" Ravizee, Sr., is one of the most prolific ball carriers in Morehead State football history.
He still ranks second in career rushing yards with 2,930 and holds the second-highest single-season rushing total in program history when he toted the ball 210 times for 1218 yards in 1997, while also scoring 13 times.
During his sophomore campaign in 1995, he became only the fourth-ever MSU player to gain more than 1,000 rushing yards in a season. He accomplished all these accolades despite only being a running back for three seasons; He played defensive back as a freshman.
Ravizee is the only running back in Morehead State program history to achieve multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons and is only the second-ever player to accomplish that feat.
His 121.8-yard per game average in 1997 still ranks third on the MSU single-season chart, while his 100.9 average in 1995 is sixth. He was the go-to guy in the Eagles’ offense. Both those seasons, he averaged more than 20 carries per game. He was third in the OVC in rushing yards in 1995, his first season as a running back. Ravizee was top-20 in the country in 1997, for all running backs.
When Morehead State discontinued its athletic-based financial aid in the mid 1990s, Ravizee was a main factor in a quick resurgence of the program following two struggling seasons. He helped the Eagles to six wins in 1996 and seven in 1997.
Ravizee returned to Morehead State in the Fall of 2024 to complete his bachelor’s degree. He currently lives in Lexington, Ky., with his wife Jessica and they have four children. He is currently working with the Department of Veterans Affairs, providing oxygen for veterans in the area.
