🎙️ Episode Title: Fifty-Five and Still Running – The Story of Joe Thomas Sr., the Oldest Player in Division I Football
📅 Podcast: Record Breakers: College Football Legends
How far would you go to chase the dream you thought had passed you by?
What if you were fifty-five years old…
Your knees ache. Your back reminds you of every mile.
You’ve worked a lifetime, raised a family, watched your children achieve the things you once dreamed of — and yet, there’s still something inside you that whispers: you’re not finished.
In this inspiring, emotional, and unforgettable episode of Record Breakers: College Football Legends, we dive into one of the most extraordinary true stories in NCAA history — the day Joe Thomas Sr., a 55-year-old father, construction worker, and college student, took the field for South Carolina State University and became the oldest player ever to appear in a Division I football game.
This is not a story about stats. It’s a story about heart.
About defying time, expectation, and even biology itself.
🎧 Record Breakers: College Football Legends is more than a sports podcast — it’s a journey through the extraordinary stories that define the soul of the game.
Because sometimes, the greatest records aren’t the ones written in the stat books…
They’re the ones written in the human heart.
