Syracuse Football has had a long history of success. We look back at some of the best players to play at Syracuse University. Up next, No. 15: Vic Hanson.

Syracuse Football has been around a long time. The University itself was founded in 1831, and the Syracuse football team was formed in 1889, according to Cuse.com. Vic Hanson, one of Syracuse’s best all-time athletes came well after that, but still a long time before many of us were born, in 1924-1927.
