A two-sport athlete at Juniata, Mike Culver was a three-year letter winner on the football and baseball fields. He was a starter at quarterback from his sophomore season through his senior year and he led the gridiron program to a 20-11-1 mark during that time, including 8-3 as a junior and 9-2 as a senior. During his final campaign, Juniata was ranked as high as fourth in the national Division III poll. He led the team in passing and total offense each of the three seasons and was the team's most valuable back in 1986. At the time of his induction, he was one of only two Juniata quarterbacks to run for over 1,000 career yards and he was ranked fourth on the career passing efficiency chart (131.72). He also held numerous program records at the time of his graduation, including all-time marks for completions (406), pass attempts (756), passing yards (5,799), total offense (6,834) and touchdown passes (55). On the baseball diamond, he was an outfielder and a power hitter. At the time of his induction, he ranked 25th in career batting average (.325) and 15th in all-time doubles (18). Following graduation, he spent two years playing professional football and coaching in England, where his team advanced to the national semifinals. He returned to Juniata in the late 80s and spent time on College Hill as an assistant football coach.
