Louis Charles Tepe (born June 18, 1930) is an American former professional football player who played offensive lineman for three seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[2] Tepe had received scholarship offers from four colleges, and chose Duke University because it gave him the opportunity to get as far away as possible from where he grew up in New Jersey.
[2] Tepe graduated from Duke in 1953 with a degree in engineering, and ultimately went into the field as a profession after completing his three-season NFL career.
From 1995 to 2000 he was an assistant football coach at Littleton High School and in the fall of 2007, Tepe signed on to be an assistant coach for the football team of John F. Kennedy High School in Denver.
[2] Tepe's older brother, Harold, was killed in action serving during World War II under General George S. Patton in North Africa and was buried in Tunisia.
