It's hard to measure Len D'Errico's accomplishments as a football
player at Boston University, but he was a key individual on
the Terriers' front line while Harry Agganis was becoming
one of the all-time great athletes in college football.
D'Errico was a versatile player. On defense, he served as
both a tackle and linebacker. On offense, he was a guard.
In 1951, D'Errico was part of a defense that held the opposition
to just 15.7 points per game and helped Boston University
to a 6-4 record. He was also part of the offense that averaged
30 points a game.
An All-State player from Cranston, RI, D'Errico captained
the 1952 football team that finished 5-4-1. A fine all-around
player, he was named the team's Most Valuable Player following
that season.
In 1964, D'Errico was further honored by being elected to
the University's Post War All-Star team as a second team guard.
