=Bill McKenny= William "Bill" Dee McKenny (born August 4, 1940) is a former collegiate and professional American football player. He competed for the University of Georgia  from 1960 and was a part of the 1960 Orange Bowl champion team.

Early life
Bill was born in Slayton, Minnesota to Charles and Velma McKenny in 1940. The family moved to Jacksonville in 1942. He was a 1957 All-America football player at Landon High School in Jacksonville, FL. He also earned All-State and All-Southern honors in 1957. Bill was the MVP of the North Squad in the 1958 High School All-Star game.

Collegiate football
Bill played varsity football for the University of Georgia from 1959 to 1961. In his third year, he was named the Best Defensive Sideback and Best Blocking Back, as well as the Outstanding Bulldog Football Player. Bill competed in the 1961 Blue-Gray Bowl as a representative of the South.

1960 Orange Bowl
The 1959 Bulldogs were projected to place 9th out of 10 teams in the SEC but improbably took the SEC  Championship title, earning them a trip to the Orange bowl  in Miami, FL. Georgia defeated the University of Missouri 14-0. Fran Tarkenton threw two touchdown passes, one to Aaron Box and one to Bill McKenny. "Coach Butts put in a special play for Missouri. It was a banana route. The two wends went downfield and broke to the sideline. I drifted through the line of scrimmage and ran a banana route through the space created by the defensive backs. I was wide open. Catching that touchdown pass from Fran Tarkenton remains a big thrill to this day."

Professional football career
Bill then continued his football career with the Edmonton Eskimos, a franchise within the Canadian Football League. He played for one year with the Eskimos before being drafted by the Army. He did not return to football career after being discharged from active duty.

Later years
In 2013, Bill McKenny was awarded the Postgraduate Achievement Award by the University of Georgia Chapter of the National Football Foundation. He now lives with his wife, Kay, in Lawrenceville, GA.
