From Hall of Honor press release dated June 14, 2003:

Conventional football wisdom says that games are won and lost in the trenches. With Fred Musone on the job during the Wittenberg football Glory Years of the 1960s, small wonder the Tigers were consistent winners. Musone started every game between 1962 and 1965, at which time Wittenberg posted a sparkling four-year record of 31-2-1 and went undefeated in winning OAC championships in 1962, 1963 and 1964. In addition, Wittenberg earned national championships in 1962 and 1964. Amazingly, Musone was a starter at offensive guard for his first two years, started at linebacker as a junior on the 1964 national championship team, and then moved back to the offensive line as a tackle in 1965. He was named team most valuable player following that season, earned first-team All-OAC honors and was a free agent invitee by several professional football organizations. After graduating from Wittenberg with a degree in history, Musone spent 24 years with the Federal Mogul Corp. He later became president and chief executive officer of Morton's Air Bag Corp. and then president and CEO of Breed Industries. He is now retired and resides in Tiverton, R.I.
