Mizia ranks fifth on the Owls’ all-time interception list with 11 and is tied with Temple Hall of Famer Anthony Young for third in school history with two career punt returns for touchdowns.  His 88-yarder in a win over Villanova in his final game of his career ranks fifth in school history.
 
He is also second on Temple’s all-time career list in punt returns with 70, and third in punt return yards with 514.
