Erwin was a member of the first men's soccer team at Wake Forest in 1980 and he quickly became its most famous member. He led the nation in scoring as a senior in 1983 with an ACC-record 36 goals and seven assists, earning All-ACC and All-South honors while also being named team MVP.
On Sept. 16, 1983, Erwin tied an ACC record for goals in a game with seven as the Demon Deacons defeated St. Andrew's 17-1. He established a school career mark with 68 goals.
In the NCAA records, Erwin is among the elite few players in the country with 14 points in a game (on seven goals).
His total of 79 points in 1983 is still tied for second place on the NCAA's single-season chart, and his goals total that season (36) is in second by itself.
Erwin's 68 career goals places him among the top 30 all-time scorers in college soccer.
As a member of the ROTC during his undergraduate years, Erwin was commissioned in December 1984 into the U.S. Army infantry. He has served multiple tours in the Middle East and Afghanistan and has received numerous commendations. Erwin is a 1999 graduate of the Marine Corps Command and Staff College and a 2007 graduate of the U.S. Army War College and currently serving as a Colonel at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Erwin was inducted into the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame on Jan. 19, 2008.
