Syracuse Football: Riley Dixon, Lift For Life & Other 'Good Works'

Wins and losses might be what we all notice but there's a lot more going on behind the scenes with SU football.

We talk a lot about "the business" of college amateur athletics but it's important to recognize all of the charitable and community efforts Syracuse Orange athletes provide as well.

Riley Dixon, favorite to win the Heisman Trophy (and reason we plan to throw the Ray Guy Award into a river) has been named to the watch list for the 2015 Wuerffel Trophy. Named for Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, the award is presented annually to the FBS player that best combines community service with athletic and academic achievement.
