Learn your SU Traditions!
The Legend of #44
Since 1954, nine football players have worn the #44; three earned All-American honors (Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little). In basketball, two players (Derrick Coleman and John Wallace) wearing the same number broke scoring records. To reflect the importance of #44, the University's zip code changed to 13244 and phone prefixes to 442 and 443.
