All-American Bosley's No. 77 to Be Retired

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. –

Bosley earned consensus All-America honors in 1955 for the Mountaineers as a two-way tackle for coach Art "Pappy" Lewis. Bosley was a four-year letterwinner from 1952-55, combining brute strength with the agility of a much smaller player to be named to 12 All-America teams.

Selected as the AP National Player of the Week following WVU's 19-14 upset of Penn State in 1954, Bosley was also a CoSIDA Academic All-American and played in the College All-Star Game, North-South Game and the Senior Bowl.

Bosley teamed with fellow linemen Sam Huff and Gene "Beef" Lamone to help West Virginia to a 31-7 record, including a 3-1 mark against Penn State and two wins over Pitt.
