Red running back Luke Siwula has given his team the best possible gift — choosing to return to Schoellkopf Field for another season.
The fifth-year senior from Cortland, N.Y., is No. 6 on Cornell’s all-time career rushing list and is 178 yards away from breaking the top-5.
Winning the team’s Mr. Offense Award as a junior, Siwula came into his senior season set to shatter all of the program’s rushing records. Injury, however, took its toll, as he went down with an injury in the Red’s 45-7 win over Georgetown Sept. 29, in which he rushed for three touchdowns.
