Hall of Fame
One of the Tribe's all-time greatest offensive linemen, Dwight Beard was a two-time All-American before graduating in 2003. He made 41 career starts, including all 12 games while leading W&M to the Atlantic 10 title and the NCAA playoffs in 2001. He was named honorable-mention All-America by the Football Gazette that season, and followed up as team captain in 2002 by earning first-team All-America honors from the AFCA. He consistently graded out as the Green and Gold's top lineman in 2002, leading an offense that averaged more than 30 points and nearly 400 yards per game. Also a two-time Atlantic-10 first-teamer, Beard was invited to the Rotary Gridiron Classic in 2003.
