A 1909 graduate of Carnegie Tech, Buddy Overend played ice hockey during his time at the university. Following a short stint in the business world, Overend returned to his alma mater in 1923 and served as the Tartans’ director of athletics until 1952. During his time at the helm of the department, Overend led Carnegie Tech to four football wins over Notre Dame and an appearance in the 1939 Sugar Bowl.

Del Ritchie, grandson of Buddy Overend, accepted the honor on Buddy's behalf.
