Tony Mayberry is one of the premier offensive linemen in the history of Wake Forest football. The three-year letterman (1987-1989) anchored the Deacon offensive line in the late 1980s, helping the Deacons to consecutive winning seasons under coach Bill Dooley.
Mayberry was instrumental in helping make the 1987 and 1988 teams two of the most explosive offensive teams in Wake Forest history. Those two teams combined to go 13-8-1 and scored at least 28 points seven times,
A first-team All-ACC selection in 1989, Mayberry also earned Academic All-ACC honors and he participated in the 1989 Blue-Gray Classic along with teammate and fellow WFU Hall of Fame inductee Ricky Proehl. Mayberry also earned the Bill George Award in 1989 as Wake's top lineman.
Mayberry was a fourth-round NFL Draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played with the Bucs from 1990-99 and earned Pro Bowl honors three times (1997,1998, 1999).
Tony Mayberry was inducted into the Wake Forest University Sports Hall of Fame on February 8th, 2002.
