Playing in one of the nation’s most competitive conferences, University of Rochester football is building with talent, dedication and teamwork. With a team motto of “CLIMB”, the Yellowjackets elevated their play in 2022. Record breaking junior Daniel Papantonis earned All-America honors and the team showed significant growth against nationally ranked teams in the Liberty League. Rochester has a remarkable football tradition that dates back over a century. That history includes former U of R safety Brian Daboll, now head coach of the New York Giants.
