‘No better player per pound’ than Boyden star Bobby Weant at UNC in 1940s

Posted Dec 28, 2020
The game program for the epic 1948 North Carolina-Duke football game declares there is “no better Tar Heel player per pound” than Bobby Weant. That 1948 UNC squad included fullback/captain Hosea Rodgers and tailback Charlie Justice, end Art Weiner and tackle Len Szafaryn, so the best-per-pound description of Weant by the UNC folks is impressive.
