Hall of Fame
Co-Captain of the football team (1948), Philip Colella was an excellent broken-field runner after transferring to St. Bonaventure from Notre Dame.
The touchdown he scored off a pass against William and Mary in a 7-6 victory made an indelible mark in St. Bonaventure football history.
Designated Little All-American (1946), he was selected for the Williamson All-American team in 1947.
