Gray Famiglietti is described as a "bone-crunching" fullback who played for the Terriers from 1935-1937.

On the defensive side of the ball, he was no less fearless, serving as one of the team's better linebackers.

Perhaps his greatest collegiate moment came against rival Boston College, when he intercepted a pass and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown in the Terriers' 13-6 win. With the Eagles driving late in the game, he stopped a running play five yards deep in the backfield, stuffing the drive.

After BU, Famiglietti was signed by the Chicago Bears and George "Papa Bear" Halas, where he played on four NFL championship teams in 1940, '41, '42, and '43.
