Sylvester Dunbar was a center on the offensive line for the Mulerider football team during the early 1980s. A native of Little Rock, Dunbar came to SAU from Little Rock Central High School where he was an all-state lineman for the Tigers.
 
At SAU, Dunbar helped lead the Muleriders to a .500 or better winning percentage each season with a top 7-3 record coming during his sophomore season in 1981.
 
While offensive linemen do not have statistics officially recorded, Dunbar’s impact on a given game was evident in the individual accolades he would earn. A majority of those accolades poured in for Dunbar as a junior and senior as he was an All-AIC First-Team selection each year.
 
In his junior season of 1982, Dunbar was unanimously named All-AIC. As a senior, Dunbar added All-District 17 and honorable mention All-America honors as well.
