His parents, "Mike" and Michelina Nagurski, were immigrants from the <a href="/wiki/Galicia_(Eastern_Europe)" title="Galicia (Eastern Europe)">Galicia</a> region of eastern Europe. His family moved to <a href="/wiki/International_Falls,_Minnesota" title="International Falls, Minnesota">International Falls, Minnesota</a> when he was five years old. Nagurski grew up working on his parents' farm and sawmill, delivering groceries for his father's grocery store. In his teens, he labored at nearby timbering operations, growing into a powerfully muscular six-footer. </p><p>Nagurski was discovered and signed by University of Minnesota head coach <a href="/wiki/Clarence_Spears" title="Clarence Spears">Clarence Spears</a>, who had originally driven to International Falls to meet another player. On the outside of town, he watched Nagurski out plowing a field without assistance. According to legend, Spears asked him for directions, and Bronko lifted his plow and used it to point.<sup id="cite_ref-tankwolf_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tankwolf-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was signed on the spot to play for the Golden Gophers. Spears later admitted he concocted the story on his long drive back to the university in Minneapolis. </p><p>Legends aside, on his first day of practice Spears decided to test Nagurski in the "Nutcracker" drill, where a defensive player had to take on two blockers and try to tackle a following ball carrier. On the first drill, two <a href="/wiki/List_of_All-Big_Ten_Conference_football_teams" title="List of All-Big Ten Conference football teams">All-Big Ten</a> linemen and <a href="/wiki/Herb_Joesting" title="Herb Joesting">Herb Joesting</a> charged at Bronko, who promptly split the blockers and drove the big fullback into a blocking dummy. Spears sent in three more players, blew his whistle, and watched Bronko produce the same explosive results. After a third try with the same conclusion, Spears realized what kind of a player he had recruited. </p><p>Nagurski became a standout, playing both tackle on defense and fullback on offense at Minnesota from <a href="/wiki/1927_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_football_team" title="1927 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team">1927</a> to <a href="/wiki/1929_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_football_team" title="1929 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team">1929</a>. In 1929, after posting 737 rushing yards, he was a consensus <a href="/wiki/1929_College_Football_All-America_Team" title="1929 College Football All-America Team">All-American</a> at fullback, and despite playing fewer games at the position also made some All-American teams at tackle. The pre-eminent sportswriter of the day, <a href="/wiki/Grantland_Rice" title="Grantland Rice">Grantland Rice</a>, listed him at the two positions in picking his 1929 All-America team. Rice later wrote, "Who would you pick to win a football game: 11 <a href="/wiki/Jim_Thorpe" title="Jim Thorpe">Jim Thorpes</a>, 11 <a href="/wiki/Glenn_Davis_(halfback)" title="Glenn Davis (halfback)">Glen Davises</a>, 11 <a href="/wiki/Red_Grange" title="Red Grange">Red Granges</a>, or 11 Bronko Nagurskis? The 11 Nagurskis would be a mop-up. It would be something close to murder and massacre. For the Bronk could star at any position on the field, with 216 pounds (98 kg) of authority to back him up." </p><p>His greatest collegiate game was against <a href="/wiki/1928_Wisconsin_Badgers_football_team" title="1928 Wisconsin Badgers football team">Wisconsin</a> in the season finale in <a href="/wiki/1928_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_football_team" title="1928 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team">1928</a>.
