Joe Lojko
- Induction:

UMass went 19-6-1 while Joe Lojko was the starting quarterback for Massachusetts State College's single-wing offensive attack that ranked among the best in New England.
In addition to playing football for three years, Lojko earned three letters in basketball and two in baseball. He served as team captain of the 1933-1934 basketball team that compiled a 12-0 record, the only major New England school to ever have an undefeated basketball season. His game-winning basket against Amherst College helped preserve the unblemished record.
Lojko died in a tragic automobile accident on April 27, 1934, in South Deerfield, Mass., less than two months from his graduation day.
Lojko was inducted into the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame in 1970.
