Bronx, N.Y. – Fordham football Hall of Famer Alex Wojciechowicz has been named to the East-West Shrine Bowl All-Century Team it was announced today.
 
Wojciechowicz, known to many players as "Wojie", ranks with Fordham's greatest all-time football players. A consensus All-American in 1936 and 1937 at center, he was the mainstay of the famed second edition of the Seven Blocks of Granite. Wojciechowicz led the Rams to an 18-2-5 record in his three years, including the undefeated 1937 team that went 7-0-1, with the only tie being a 0-0 deadlock with Pitt, Fordham's last undefeated football squad.
 
After graduation Wojciechowicz played professional football for 13 seasons and was All-Pro with the Detroit Lions in 1939 and 1940.
 
After retiring in 1951, Wojciechowicz turned to real estate as a career. He is a member of both the College and Professional Football Halls of Fame. He was also a professional football scout and President of the National Football League Alumni Association.
 
In 1968, Wojciechowicz became the first of three Rams to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Vince Lombardi, a 1971 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, and Wellington Mara, who was inducted in 1997, would later join him. He was inducted into the inaugural Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame in 1970 along with Lombardi.
