Montclair State University Athletics

One of the most prolific quarterbacks to every play the game at Montclair State, Mark Casale has the distinction of leading MSU to its first NCAA postseason game when he was just a sophomore. Casale threw for over 2,000 yards that season. During his career Mark went on to complete over 50 percent of his passes an accumulated 6,096 total yards passing and that included just 35 yards as a freshman when he played as the backup. Perhaps Casale’s best year came in 1982 when he threw 17 touchdown passes with just three interceptions and in 10 games threw for 2,300 yards, and as a junior he was named a consensus Kodak All-American quarterback, perhaps the toughest position on the football field from which to be named an All-American. Upon his graduation, Casale left with a whopping 16 Montclair State records, including six single-game records, five single-season and six career records.
