Career
He was elected to the Georgia Technical Hall of Fame in 1958, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1977, and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Pund was never penalized. "I sat at Grant Field and saw a magnificent Notre Dame team suddenly recoil before the furious pounding of one man–Pund, center," said legendary coach Knute Rockne.
"Nobody could stop him.
I counted 20 scoring plays that this man ruined." After the 1929 Rose Bowl, Pund called "Wrong way" Roy Riegels "the best center I have played against all year. He"s a battler, and he never quit."
Pund died September 17, 1987, in Darien, Connecticut.
He is interred at Magnolia Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia.
