Share:

PHILADELPHIA – Syracuse safety Andre Cisco and defensive end Alton Robinson have both been named to the 2019 Bednarik Award Watch List, announced today by the Maxwell Football Club. The two are the first Orange players to make the watch list for the coveted award since linebacker Derrell Smith in 2010.

The Bednarik Award has been presented to the college football defensive player of the year every season since 1995. It is named after Chuck Bednarik, a former standout at Penn and with the Philadelphia Eagles, who is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
