Cureton was a dominant offensive guard and also played on the defensive line for three seasons (1953-54-55) on UCLA football teams that went 26-4 and captured three Pacific Coast Conference championships and participated in two Rose Bowls. During the 1954 national championship season, Cureton was named second-team All-Coast and honorable mention All-American. As a senior in 1955, Cureton became the Bruins' fifth-ever consensus first-team All-American as well as being named all-conference and team captain -- the first African-American captain to lead a UCLA football team. In 1955, Cureton was selected to play in the Hula Bowl and later played for nine years in the Canadian Football League for Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton.
