A.J. Pagano ’88 was a four-time All-Presidents’ Athletic Conference running back for W&J from 1984-1987. He led W&J to its first postseason appearance since the 1922 Rose Bowl in his freshman year. In all, W&J claimed three PAC Championships and made four NCAA Division III playoff appearances with Pagano in the backfield. He was a two-time PAC Most Valuable Player and All-American.

He finished his career as the No. 2 leading scorer in Division III history with 361 points and is currently the 12th leading scorer in history. He also still holds the school record for all-purpose yards in a game with 357 versus CMU in 1987 along with four other records.
