- 2004
A two-time first team All-ACC selection, Leonard was the leader of Demon Deacon teams in the mid-1960s. In both 1965 and 1966, Leonard enjoyed outstanding seasons. He scored more than 600 points and earned first-team All-ACC Tournament distinction in both seasons.
During his three-year career, Leonard scored 1,637 points for an average of more than 20 points per game. At 6-2, Leonard was an amazing athlete who could dunk and was often assigned to defend the opponent's top player - regardless of size. Despite his own lack of height, Leonard managed to pull down 514 career rebounds. Former Deacon coach and player Jack Murdock called Leonard "the best all-around guard that Wake Forest has ever had."
Bob Leonard was inducted into the Wake Forest University Sports Hall of Fame on September 12, 2003.
