He was captain and team MVP all four years. At the time of his graduation he was the Iowa collegiate all-time leading rusher with 5,162 yards. That record was also good for second on the St. Ambrose all-time rushing yards list, which he got on 920 carries (also 2nd), averaging 5.6 yards per carry (good for 7th on the Bees all-time list). In addition, he is the Bees all-time leader in rushing touchdowns with 64 and scoring with 414 points.

He had an outstanding 1985 campaign, rushing for 1,424 yards (6th place) on 311 carries (2nd place) while scoring an SAU all-time record 27 touchdowns, 8 more than the 2nd place record. His successful year earned him the single season scoring record with 162 points. Jurevitz says he best remembers having a nationally ranked football team in 1985 and being named Offensive MVP in his last game.

Jurevitz graduated in 1986.
