With an undefeated record as a starter and two national championships under his belt, few can match the stellar collegiate career of Westminster’s Joe Micchia. The quarterback becomes the third Titans player to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.
A two-time All-American (1989 – First Team, 1988 – Second Team), Micchia led Westminster to back-to-back undefeated seasons en route to consecutive NAIA Division II national championships. The school’s first-ever 4,000-yard passer holds Titans records for career (68) and season (32) touchdown passes, and he went 31-0 as a starter. A two-time national title game MVP, he led his team to a 27-game winning streak (1988-89) that ranked as the nation’s longest among all divisions at the time.
After graduating from Westminster, Micchia completed medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1994, later completing his residency in Columbus, Ohio. He worked at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and at North Raleigh Primary Care before forming a practice in Wake Forest, N.C. with his wife in 2010.
Micchia played for College Football Hall of Fame coach Joe Fusco at Westminster, and he was inducted into the Titan Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.
