A 12-time letter winner at Rutgers, Robeson was chosen an All-American in 1918 by Walter Camp, who called him the greatest end to "ever trod the gridiron." The second-highest ranking student in his graduating class, he was the first Rutgers player chosen a first-team All-American. After receiving a law degree from Columbia, Robeson went on to become a world-renowned singer, athlete and social leader.
