Bill Hannon, a 1954 graduate, was a three-time Converse Yearbook honorable mention All-America selection as a men's basketball star. He led the nation in rebounding as a sophomore, averaging 20.9 per contest.
During his three seasons, he posted 1,101 rebounds and scored 1,155 points, the first Black Knight to surpass the 1,000 mark in both of those categories. He graduated as the school's scoring and rebounding leader and currently stands second and 21st, respectively, in those statistics.
A two-time team captain, Hannon played in 58 career games and averaged 19.0 rebounds per contest, still an Academy single-season record. He led the team in scoring in all three of seasons and scored a career-high 44 points in a 101-46 victory over National University of Mexico in 1954.
He paced the team in free throw percentage in all three of his seasons and established an Academy record with 27 rebounds against Pittsburgh in 1954. He was selected to the 1954 East-West All-Star Game, was a member of the Armed Forces All-Stars and competed in the 1956 U.S. Olympic Trials.
Hannon served multiple tours of duty and retired from the U.S. Army as a colonel.
