Ben Schwartzwalder Statue Joins Plaza 44 Statues in Unveiling Next Week

The legendary Syracuse coach will also be commemorated alongside statues of the three famous No. 44s.

Back when Plaza 44 was originally supposed to be unveiled, the trio of statues we already knew about (Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little) was joined by a fourth statue nearby that remained covered and we all wondered who it might have been. Was it a statue to commemorate "The Other 44's" or perhaps something else altogether?

Turns out, it was a statue of legendary SU football coach Ben Schwartzwalder.

All four statues will be officially unveiled on November 14 at a ceremony that begins around 9:15 a.
