Noted sports writer Grantland Rice said of Monsky: "Leroy Monsky, amazingly fast for his size and power, was outstanding on both offense and defense and was a key man in the Alabama attack which specializes in the use of the guards...led many a charge that put Alabama in front after a strenuous tussle. His fighting courage was the deciding factor in most of these games." Monsky was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1978. He died in New York City in 1981. While in college he was a member of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, Psi chapter at the University of Alabama.
