Harvard Crimson Football History

The Harvard football program, along with Yale and Princeton, were among the top teams in college football for the first four decades of the game. In fact, Harvard has ties to winning 12 national championships from NCAA-designated major selectors. These are the seasons of 1874, 1875, 1890, 1898, 1899, 1901, 1908, 1910, 1912, 1913, 1919, 1920. Harvard claims seven of these college football national championships. The Crimson originally competed as a "Major" football independent before joining the Ivy League in 1956 as a founding member.

The players that have donned the "H" are significant as well, with the likes of Kyle Juszczyk, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ralph Horween, Arnold Horween, Percy Haughton, Roger Caron, Percy Wendell, and so many more. It's a rich history, and Harvard definitely guided much of the early formation of the game. You will find much to celebrate about Crimson football history in this collection of posts.
