Bill Fralic, the former Penn Hills Indian, Pitt Panther, and Atlanta Falcon has died at the age of 56.
Bill Fralic was a three time All-American for Pitt, and was the #2 overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1985 NFL draft. His #79 jersey was retired by Pitt during his last home game as a player against Tulane (How badass is that?). He finished in the top 10 of Heisman voting twice, was part of the inaugural WPIAL Fall of Fame, and was named to Pitt’s first Hall of Fame class in September. He was selected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
