A 6’1, 185-pound all-star guard, Charles Bannan worked his way into the Hall of Fame. Cut from his high school team as a freshman, Bannan refused to let his obstacles stop him. In the offseason, he grew two inches and put on 30 pounds to earn a starting role. With his grit and determination, he was unstoppable under the basket, especially on the defensive side. After his collegiate career, Bannan, a Golden Bronco, donated back and started the Bannan Family Endowment for Bronco Bench Foundation.
