Career
After his collegiate career, Bunch played one season as a semi-professional with the West Virginia Rockets. After his playing career ended, Bunch entered the hospitality business. Presently Bunch serves as an innkeeper at Winston Place, a bed and breakfast listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Valley Head, Alabama.
As a native of Mechanicsville, Virginia, Bunch played offensive guard for the Lee-Davis High School football team as a youth.
From Lee-Davis, Bunch then enrolled at Fork Union Military Academy where he was recruited initially by Virginia Technical and North Carolina State. Alabama later offered him an opportunity to play with the Crimson Tide only after Alabama assistant coach Ken Donahue noticed Bunch on film that he was viewing for a defensive back that he was recruiting at that time.
Bunch entered the Alabama starting lineup in the third game of the 1976 season against Vanderbilt. He was the only freshman to start during the season and was recognized as First Team Freshman All-Securities and Exchange Commission for his efforts.
In recognition for his play during his sophomore and junior years, Bunch was a First Team All-Securities and Exchange Commission selection.
Although he was a consensus selection to the All-America Team, Bunch went undrafted and was not signed as an undrafted free agent after the 1980 NFL Draft. He was left unsigned due to NFL teams believing he was too short to be competitive as an offensive lineman as a professional. As such, Bunch then played a single season as a semi-professional with the West Virginia Rockets.
After the completion of his playing career, Bunch returned to Alabama where he served as a graduate assistant on Bear Bryant"s staff for the 1980 season.
After he completed his graduate degree, Bunch then worked for Quincy"s Family Steakhouses for 25 years until his retirement in 2005.
