Robert Dugas, Offensive Tackle, LSU, 1976-1978

LSU offensive tackle Robert Dugas is one of the most decorated student-athletes in LSU history, earning first team All-America honors for his play on the football field as well as his performance in the classroom.  Dugas was a 1978 National Scholar-Athlete and was also a first-team Academic All-America selection in 1977.  On the field, Dugas earned All-America honors from the Football News as he anchored an LSU offensive line known as the “Root Hogs.”

He helped pave the way for LSU running back Charles Alexander who set numerous school rushing records. Dugas was a two-time All-SEC pick in 1977 and 1978 and he earned Academic All-SEC in 1977 and 1978. He later served as team physician for the Nebraska football program for many years before returning to Baton Rouge.
