Ron Kinsey was a three-year starter at end and was a vital member of Bucknell's 1964 Lambert Cup team and the 1965 Middle Atlantic Conference championship team. He was overshadowed a bit by Hall of Famer and classmate Tom Mitchell, who was the school's all-time leading receiver, but Kinsey was also a difficult matchup on the other side. His 89 receptions and 1,183 career receiving yards were second only to Mitchell at graduation. Kinsey had the winning touchdown in Bucknell's 21-14 win over arch-rival Delaware in the final game of the 1964 season, a victory that clinched a 7-2 record and the Lambert Cup, awarded to the top team in the East. Earlier that season, the Middletown, Pa., native had 10 catches for 147 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 24-21 upset win at Harvard, which was Bucknell's first win over an Ivy League team since 1891.
