Lou is the first member of what was described in the 1955 HUB as the "best line in the school's history" to make it into Boston University's Hall of Fame.

A three-year standout for the Terriers as a middle guard, Lovely "formed the backbone of one of the most fearsome attacking units in New England football" in 1954 when Boston University posted a 7-2 record and was just two points away from an undefeated season.

Lou was named to the All-East team for his efforts and also received All-America recognition. He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL, however, a chronic pinched nerve in his neck and a serious knee injury sustained in training camp cut short his professional career.
