Bob Watts '77
- A four-year varsity contributor, he moved from his freshman
assignment at tight end to a three-year stint at linebacker
where he became one of the finest defensive players in
college football.

defender in New England in recognition of his speed,
tenacity, and virtually unlimited football skills. Played in
the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl All-Star classics.

established a school record in the event.
- After graduation, he was drafted by the NFL's New Orleans

injuries prematurely ended his promising professional
career.
