Bob Albert was a co-captain and fullback on the undefeated 1951 Bucknell football team. Albert played in the Blue-Gray Game in Montgomery, Ala., was an honorary captain and first-team defensive back on the 1951 AP All-Pennsylvania Team, was named to the second All-East team selected by the AP, and received honorable mention on the AP Little All-America team. Albert rushed for 1,037 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in his sophomore and junior years at Bucknell. As a senior, he was primarily a blocking fullback for “Touchdown Twins” Brad Myers and Burt Talmage, also members of the Hall of Fame, but he did rush for 321 yards and two TDs while also completing 10 passes for 332 yards and a pair of scores. For good measure, he intercepted three passes on defense. Also president of his senior class at Bucknell, Albert lettered in baseball and was intramural heavyweight boxing champion.
