Cureton earned All-American honors while playing for Valley College in 1952. He repeated the honor at UCLA in 1955.

In 1956, Cureton signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, where he played defensive tackle. His professional career was in Canada, ending in 1964 with the Hamilton Tigercats. Cureton, considered one of Canadian football’s most versatile athletes, made the all-star team five times at four different positions. He still lives in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Former Los Angeles Ram Fred Dryer and former San Francisco 49er Joe Perry were also inducted. Dryer was an All-American at El Camino College, while Perry played for Compton College.
