Professor of the pigskin

By Alex Hickey · Monday, May 3,2004 2:39 a.m.

Students and colleagues of African-American Studies professor John McCluskey might know of his Harvard education. But he's less likely to reveal to them a piece of information that might win a few bar bets and prove his role as a football pioneer. McCluskey, who played for Harvard from 1962-65, was the first black student to start at quarterback in the history of the Ivy League. "The Boston paper had a headline that said I was the first black quarterback (at Harvard) in 350 years," McCluskey said.
