From Hall of Honor press release dated Dec. 10, 2020:

Michael Aljancic was a game-breaking wide receiver for the Tiger football team. He led the Tigers in receiving in three of his four seasons in the Red & White, and he finished his career as the Tigers’ all-time leader in receptions with 147 (current rank sixth). After the 2002 season, the NCAA changed its policies to include postseason statistics in its records – when factoring in his 47 receptions for 764 yards and eight touchdowns in nine postseason games, Aljancic rises to second in program history in all three categories. His 10 receptions for 214 yards in a dramatic 38-35 NCAA Tournament win over Hardin-Simmons in 2001 both rank at the top of the program’s postseason record book. Aljancic was an honorable mention All-America choice by USA Football News in 2000, and he picked up first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) awards three times and was named to the league’s All-Decade Team (1993-2002). A team captain in 2001, Aljancic was named team MVP following that season. A native of Louisville, Ohio, Aljancic currently resides in Worthington, Ohio.
