Alonzo Carmichael - Football - (1983-86)
At the time of his induction, Carmichael was one of only five WCU football players to be named All-America in multiple seasons and was selected as the tight end on Western Carolina's All-20th Century Football Team. A native of Lake View, S.C., he was a first-team Associated Press (AP)) All-America selection in 1985 when he caught 55 passes for 587 yards, a school record for tight ends. During that '85 season, he caught 11 passes in the Furman game and had 130 yards in receptions at Georgia Tech. Carmichael followed up in 1986 with 31 receptions for nearly 400 yards and was named to the AP's second-team All-America squad. He captained the 1985 and '86 Catamounts and was a two-time first-team All-Southern Conference selection. Carmichael was selected to the Southern Conference 100th Anniversary Team in 2021.
