Bomar, Lynn (Robert Lynn)
Football
b. 1901
An All-American end at Vanderbilt in 1923, Bomar was an excellent pass receiver. In 1922, he caught touchdown passes of 40, 43, and 52 yards. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder was often used as a blocking back on important running plays and as a linebacker on defense.
One of the first All-Americans from a southern school, Bomar also starred in baseball and basketball. He played for the NFL's New York Giants in 1925 and 1926.
