Princeton leads all Division 1-A schools
with 28 National Championships

Princeton University boasts one of the most storied football traditions in America. The Princeton Tigers played in the very first college football game in 1869 against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. From there, the Tigers went on to win a string of national titles into the 1920's giving the Tigers the most Division 1-A National Championships in the country. Upon the creation of the Ivy League in 1955, the Princeton Tigers began to show their dominance in league competition as well, winning eight titles to date. From stars like Dick Kazmaier, Cosmo Iacavazzi and Charlie Gogolak in the 50's and 60's to names like Keith Elias, Ross Tucker and Dennis Norman, the Princeton Tigers continue to produce only the highest quality of football players.
