Stan Noskin
Stanton Charles Noskin (born June 12, 1938) is an American former football player. He played at the quarterback position for the University of Michigan from 1957 to 1959. He was the starting quarterback for the 1959 Michigan Wolverines football team. He later became a dentist in Skokie, Illinois.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Noskin was the son of Dr. Joseph M. Noskin, a Chicago dentist, and Ruth Noskin (née Hendler). He attended Evanston Township High School. As a senior, he completed 38 of 58 passes in seven Suburban League games and led Evanston to the league football championship in 1955. He was also selected as an Illinois All-State quarterback in 1955.
Noskin enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1956. He was the third Jewish quarterback to start for the Michigan Wolverines football team, following Benny Friedman and Harry Newman.
Prior to the start of the 1957 season, Associated Press sports editor Jerry Liska visited Michigan's training camp. After seeing Noskin throw the ball, Liska wrote that, though Jim Van Pelt returned as a seasoned quarterback, "the real threat at this position could be soph Stan Noskin from Chicago." Michigan head coach Bennie Oosterbaan rated Noskin as "Michigan's best tosser since Chuck Ortmann," the Big Ten Conference passing champion in 1948.
The more experienced Van Pelt was named the starting quarterback for the 1957 Michigan team, but Noskin played in all nine games for the team. In the second game of the 1957 season, Noskin led Michigan to a 26–0 victory over Georgia. He scored two rushing touchdowns against the Bulldogs and completed five of nine passes for 80 yards, including a 35-yard pass to Dave Bowers. At the end of October 1957, Noskin threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Bowers in a 24–7 win over Minnesota.
In November 1957, Detroit sports writer Jerry Green credited Noskin with turning Van Pelt into a "topnotch quarterback." Green wrote: "Noskin was just another varsity candidate in the spring. But the threat of the daring sophomore taking his job away spurred Van Pelt into doing things he never considered before. Most of all, Noskin's passing ability made Van Pelt into a better passer."
As a junior, Noskin was a backup to Bob Ptacek, the Most Valuable Player on the 1958 team. Despite Ptacek's strong play, Noskin played in seven of nine games for the 1958 team. In the season opener, Noskin completed five of eight passes for 69 yards in 20–19 win over USC. Two weeks later, he completed five of eight passes for 78 yards against Navy.
As a senior, Noskin was the starting quarterback in all nine games for the 1959 Michigan Wolverines football team. Under first-year head coach Bump Elliott, the team finished with a disappointing record of 4–5.
