1894 Drexel Dragons football team
text:
The 1894 Drexel Dragons football team represented the Drexel Institute of Technology as an independent during the 1894 college football season. The team did not have a head coach. In either the team's first exhibition game against Penn freshman, or the regular season game against Hamilton School, Knight, playing at fullback, suffered a fractured skull which killed him. This is one of the earliest recorded deaths of an American football player due to injuries sustained during a game.
