He was the third Jewish quarterback to start for the Michigan Wolverines football team, following Benny Friedman and Harry Newman.

[4] Prior to the start of the 1957 season, Associated Press sports editor Jerry Liska visited Michigan's training camp.

[7] In November 1957, Detroit sports writer Jerry Green credited Noskin with turning Van Pelt into a "topnotch quarterback.

But the threat of the daring sophomore taking his job away spurred Van Pelt into doing things he never considered before.

[7] As a senior, Noskin was the starting quarterback in all nine games for the 1959 Michigan Wolverines football team.

[7][12] Under first-year head coach Bump Elliott, the team finished with a disappointing record of 4–5.

Noskin completed five of nine passes and, according to the Associated Press, "ran the squad brilliantly in leading Michigan to its first Big Ten victory of the year.

Two plays later, Noskin threw an interception that was caught by Wisconsin center Bob Nelson at the 30-yard line.

He also threw three interceptions, and backup John Stamos added a fourth, as Michigan lost the game, 26–7.

In its game coverage, the Associated Press wrote:"The 56th meeting between the Big Ten teams turned into a personal tug of war between Michigan's Stan Noskin and Ohio's Roger Detrick.

Noskin, who has made the trip from hero to bum and back again many times, wound up his spotty career with a flawless direction of the spirited Michigan team.

"[22]In a December 1959 speech to the Michigan Club of Chicago, head coach Bump Elliott mentioned Noskin as one of the best players on the 1959 team along with Tony Rio, Darrell Harper and Fred Julian, but noted that the strength of the team was its reliance upon the squad as a whole rather than upon individual stars.

[7] At the conclusion of his career, Noskin's 1,245 passing yards ranked second in University of Michigan history behind Chuck Ortmann.
