Princeton Football Association Names The Top Princeton Players Of The Ivy Era

CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS FOR PRINCETON-DARTMOUTH AT YANKEE STADIUM

An 18-member committee from the Princeton Football Association, under the leadership of Jay Greenberg of Princetontigersfootball.com, has chosen the top Princeton players of the Ivy League era, as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of college football. Princeton and Rutgers met in the first football game ever played, back on Nov. 6, 1869.

The 2019 season will be a celebration of Princeton's role in the sport's history, including five home games and a game at Yankee Stadium against Dartmouth the week of the anniversary. The naming of the offense, defense and special teams players is a part of that. There will be other similar stories as the season moves along. From the story:

A separate, smaller, committee is choosing the 1869-1955 honorees, to be announced later. And much more about Princeton's glorious history in the years it competed for national championships will be posted on this site in the coming months, starting with the story of the first game in 1869. We will culminate our celebration with a weekly ranked list of the greatest triumphs, comebacks, individual performances, heartbreaks and other memorable moments of the Ivy era. They will run once per week throughout the 2019 season.
