Syracuse Football: Orange will win 1st Bednarik Award in program history

Syracuse football made history in 2018 and they have another opportunity to do it again in 2019.

On Monday afternoon the Maxwell Football Club released the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award and two Syracuse football players were featured on the list:

The Bednarik Award is handed out annually to the nation’s defensive player of the year. Since the award’s inception in 1995, no Syracuse football player has ever taken it home.

In 2019 one of these two will bring the hardware back to Syracuse University.
