An outstanding two-time All-Conference football center, 1971 UCLA All-American and Co-Captain. Some have called him the greatest center in UCLA football history. Dalby was a tremendous blocker who possessed excellent quickness to pull out of the line to lead sweeps on bootleg plays. Dalby started in 31 straight games during his Bruin career (1969-71). In 1970, Dalby won the Paul I. Wellman Award for "All-Around Excellence." The following year he was recipient of the Coach Red Sanders Award as UCLA's Most Valuable Player. He played in both the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. Later he had a long and successful NFL career - 15 years with the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders appearing in three Super Bowls.
