Bill Buckley has touched more lives than perhaps any in MSU's Hall of Fame, working with Bulldog athletes and native Mississippians during his 22 years with the Mississippi chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, just this year being named the FCA state director in Mississippi.
A three-year letterman for the Bulldogs from 1970-72, Buckley evolved into a standout receiver after a stellar high school career for the Starkville Yellow Jackets. The hometown product led the SEC twice in receptions, 47 in the 1972 and 41 in 1973, while also leading the league with 776 yards in 1972 before being drafted by the New York Jets in the 11th round.
