Bruce Bosley earned consensus All-America honors in 1954 for the Mountaineers as a two-way tackle for coach Art "Pappy" Lewis.

Bosley became a four-year letterwinner at tackle for the Mountaineers 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, also an Academic All-American, played in the College All-Star Game, North-South Game and Senior Bowl.

Bosley teamed with linemen Sam Huff and Gene "Beef" Lamone to help West Virginia to a 31-7 record, including a 3-1 mark against rival Penn State. Bosley was also a key member of West Virginia's 1954 Sugar Bowl team that lost to Pepper Rodgers-led Georgia Tech.
