Hampden-Sydney College

H-SC's third football All-American, as recognized by Liberty magazine after the 1935 season, Formwalt was also captain of the 1935 squad which, despite finishing 5-5, was the only Hampden-Sydney squad ever to defeat the University of Virginia - the Tigers recorded a 13-7 victory over the Cavaliers. Legendary H-SC Coach Yank Bernier called Formwalt "one of the greatest ever to play end for Hampden-Sydney."

In basketball, Formwalt was also an outstanding performer and scored a career-high 34 points against American University. As a senior, he was the leading scorer in the state of Virginia. Bernier said that both opposing players and newspaper reporters considered Bill Formwalt an outstanding player and sportsman.

Today, Formwalt, who originally hailed from Baltimore, Maryland, is retired and lives in Lecanto, Florida.
