Bio

Bunyard was a standout student-athlete at South Torrance High School in football and basketball. At ECC, he fulfilled a lifetime dream of playing for the Warriors and his dad, longtime assistant coach Jim Bunyard (ECC Hall of Fame 1998). In his sophomore season, Bunyard was the leader of a tremendous offensive line (five Division I scholarships) and was a unanimous first team All Conference selection.

He received a football scholarship to Stanford University where he played two successful years, culminating in a trip to the Gator Bowl as a senior. Bunyard returned to ECC in 1988 as an assistant football coach for five years while he completed a master’s degree in mathematics from CSU Long Beach. He then moved to Maryland to take a fulltime position in mathematics at Howard Community College, continuing to coach football for a number of years both at the college and high school levels.

Bunyard joined his dad in the Hall of Fame, becoming the first-ever father-son inductees.
