Andrew R.E. Wyant
- Induction:
- 1979
- Class:
- 1892
Sport: Football
A member of the National Football Hall of Fame and the inaugural Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame class, Andy Wyant played tackle or guard in 98 consecutive games over seven years for Bucknell and the University of Chicago without missing so much as a single play because of illness or injury. Wyant played at Bucknell when, in his words, "football was foot ball and the center had to roll the back with his feet." He played in what he considered to be the first great upset in college football, the Bisons' 4-0 win over Cornell in 1891, and in the same year he ran for four touchdowns against Haverford from the tackle position. After graduating from Bucknell summa cum laude, he continued his education at Chicago (he eventually held A.B., A.M., B.D., Ph.D and M.D. degrees) and played there under Amos Alonzo Stagg. He became Chicago's first elected football captain. This athlete, pastor, physician and surgeon, prolific writer, well-known speaker and loyal Bucknellian was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1962, two years before his passing at the age of 97.Â
