A standout quarterback and defensive back, Bob Marks played on Bucknell football teams that won Lambert Cup and Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Long after graduation, he remained one of the athletic department's most zealous supporters and served a 15-year stint as president of the Bison Club. Marks played quarterback and defensive back on Bucknell's 1964 Lambert Cup-winning team, and then he sparked Bucknell to the 1965 MAC championship. Against Delaware in the title game, Marks came on at quarterback in the second half and led Bucknell to two quick scores in the come-from-behind win. He was twice named to the All-MAC and All-Pennsylvania Team as a defensive back and led the Bison in interceptions, kickoff returns and punt returns in 1965. His total of 301 punt return yards in 1965 was a Bucknell record. A native of nearby Danville, Pa., and the father of two Bucknell graduates, Marks became an attorney in his hometown and served many years as a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame Committee.
