Solomon Vanhorse

Perhaps the winningest player in the history of college football, by my count, Solomon Vanhorse had a college career football record of 79-12.

Anyone think that's ever been topped?

And for those who dont know, Vanhorse was a freshman  on  the 2019 James Madison Dukes football team, coached by Curt Cignetti.

He won league championships in the Colonial, the Sunbelt, and the Big Ten.  

I gotta say, anyone sitting on the couch watching football with that guy 30 years from now is going to have a hard time one upping him with the "in my day...." stories.

@tr32 

heck of a team player to follow Cig here and have a greatly diminished role after fighting through injury trouble. 

I was so bummed at Maryland when he got some touches in the 4th quarter and got it down to the 1 before they put Khobie back in.  If I recall correctly, Solomon could’ve put it in on the run but made some love that kept himself from scoring.  Would have been his only TD at IU.

8 seasons.  He redshirted 2018 season and had a big freshman year in 2019.  I didnt count how the team did during his redshirt year.  He was still playing for the Dukes in 2023 when Cig and company transferred to IU, then he somehow had 2 more seasons.

I believe there were 2 D1 8th year seniors this season, making Vanhorse one of the most experienced college athletes perhaps in any sport.

 So you are saying that even though I am 57 and never played D1 (or II or III) ball, I still have a chance. .. Put me in coach!
