He was inducted into the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor in 1996 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000.

In 1977, Dierdorf sustained a broken jaw and missed two games to injury as the Cardinals fell to 7-7. In 1978, Dierdorf started all 16 games at right tackle for the Cardinals.
