Belmont Abbey College

A two-time Catholic Digest All-America selection, Danny Doyle was Coach Al McGuire’s first recruit in 1957. He scored 1,290 points during his four-year career at Belmont Abbey, which places Doyle 19th in school history. He led the Crusaders to 15 or more wins and a national tournament every year of his career, highlighted by the school’s first trip to the NAIA National Tournament in 1961. Doyle was the first Abbey player to be drafted into the NBA. He was the third pick in the fifth round (41st overall) and was signed by the Detroit Pistons.
