In his senior campaign in 2010, DiMichele, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., was the anchor on defense for an RMU squad that finished with an overall record of 8-3 (.727), including a mark of 7-1 (.875) in the Northeast Conference. The Colonials won the 2010 NEC title and became the first league program to garner an automatic bid to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs. DiMichele finished with 105 tackles in RMU's championship season and was selected as the 2010 NEC Defensive Player of the Year.
