For more than 40 years, Barry Gallup has been a cornerstone in the foundation of Boston College athletics. He remains one of the Eagles' most decorated athletes after setting nearly every receiving record over a four year career in the late 1960s. He is a revered coach for his ability to recruit for head coaches Joe Yukica, Ed Chlebek and Jack Bicknell, and he helped assemble the rosters that produced some of the 1980s most iconic teams. He is still an active participant in history as an administrator in the athletic department, the glue holding together the football alumni family.
