Class:
1981

An impenetrable offensive tackle, May was an instrumental part of Pitt's four-year record of 39-8-1—including four bowl games and three Top 10 finishes—from 1977-80. In his junior and senior seasons, both 11-1 Pitt teams, May did not allow a single sack. He enjoyed a decorated final campaign, earning unanimous All-America status and the prestigious Outland Trophy, presented to the nation's top interior lineman. Selected by the Washington Redskins in the first round (20th overall) of the 1981 NFL Draft, May was a standout member of the team's "Hogs" offensive line from 1981-90. He was vital to three Washington Super Bowl berths (1982, 1983 and 1987), including championships in '82 and '87. He finished his pro career with the San Diego Chargers (1991) and Arizona Cardinals (1992-93). May was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005. His No. 73 jersey is retired by Pitt.
