The Syracuse football squad is pulling out all the stops for their ACC opener vs the Clemson Tigers in Week 3 of the 2019 season.
That of course includes the latest news that Syracuse football legend Tim Green will have his jersey retired during halftime on September 14th.
According to the official press release, Green becomes the first (predominantly) defensive player to ever has his jersey retired by Syracuse University.
The Orange’s all-time sack leader had this to say about this distinction (per the press release):
“I humbly accept this great honor not on behalf of myself but on behalf of Coach Mac, his entire coaching staff, including strength coach Mike Woicik, my teammates and of course – George O’Leary,” Green said.
