A stalwart, starting offensive guard on the "Golden Era" teams, Read won three letters from 1947-49. During that time the Knights compiled a sterling 21-6 record when he blocked and opened holes for the likes of Frank Burns, Herm Hering, Harvey Grimsley and Hank Pryor. During the 1947 season, Rutgers won eight games by a margin of over three touchdowns per contest. His speed and power earned him an All-East selection by nationally-known writer Stanley Woodward. A Merchant Marine veteran and a native of Phillipsburg, he was captain of the 1949 Scarlet squad.
