Hall of Fame
Charlie Maloy brought an unprecedented air attack to Crusader football during his time as Holy Cross’ quarterback in the early 1950s.
He graduated with every passing record in the Holy Cross record books, along with three New England major college records— most completions in a career (306), most yards passing in a career (4,074) and most touchdown passing in career (34).
As a sophomore in 1950, Maloy threw 242 passes (completing 106 for 1,572 yards), which at the time set a national record.
He broke the record by tossing 288 passes (completing 126 for 1,514 yards and 13 touchdowns) as a senior in 1952.
Maloy earned first team All-America honors in 1951, and received the George H. “Bulger” Lowe Award in 1952 as the most outstanding player in New England.
He also scored 17 touchdowns in his career, and the Crusaders posted a 20-9-1 mark with him in the lineup.
In addition, Maloy was selected to play in both the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl following his senior season.
