Wade Massad '89 graduated from BW in 1989 and was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.

Massad was arguably the finest placekicker to ever play at BW. His 34 career field goals and 77 consecutive PAT kicks remain school records. His streak of 77 consecutive PAT’s was the longest current streak in any NCAA football division when he ended his career. His 46-yard field goals against both Capital and Marietta in 1985 are still the Finnie Stadium record and his 48-yard make at Heidelberg in 1988 is the longest in school history. The All-OAC kicker was also a Division III All-American on three separate Division III all-star teams (Associated Press Little All-America, Football News and Pizza Hut). He distinguished himself as both a team leader and entrepreneur.

On the field, Massad earned four letters and helped the Yellow Jackets to compile a 30-10 record (.750 winning percentage) and one OAC Co-title (1988). He connected on 110-of-118 PAT kicks and 34-of-64 field goals for 212 career points, and many of his field goal attempts came from long range. In addition to football, Massad served as President of his fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, contributed on the university radio station, WBWC and twice participated in Baldwin Wallace Dance Concert. Off the field, Massad developed the “Dawg Towel” and the “Dee Towel” which launched his career as an entrepreneur. He was featured on ABC TV at halftime of the network’s College Football Game of the Week on a segment known as “Campus Camera”.
