Brian's Song

The Demon Deacons men's athletic program is better known for their men's basketball program, but the football team does have its own history of successful teams and players. Perhaps the most identifiable player to the program is Brian Piccolo, who led the nation in scoring in 1964. He is also the basis for the popular film Brian's Song detailing his time with the Chicago Bears and his subsequent death.
