Hall of Famer 🏆

Congrats to Kris Ryan '02 on being inducted into Penn's Hall of Fame Class XIV!

He graduated as Penn's all-time leading rusher with 3,181 yards, a record that still stands as of his induction in 2026. He helped lead Penn to two Ivy League Championships in 1998 and 2000 and was third on the program's all-time list for yards-per-carry average (5.2).

In the Ivy League, he is seventh all-time in rushing yards and sixth in the league's conference-only list (2,303). A two-time unanimous First-Team All-Ivy pick and Second-Team All-Ivy Selection once, he led Penn in rushing for three straight seasons (1999-01).

He also led the Ivy League in rushing in 1999 and 2001. His 1,304 rushing yards as a senior were second on the program's single-season list at the time of graduation. He ran for 256 yards against Fordham on October 9, 1999, the third most in a single game in program history, and is one of three players with two 200-yard games in his career.

He scored 33 career rushing touchdowns, which is second all-time, and 15 as a senior, which is third all-time. Following graduation, he signed a free agent contract with the NFL's Detroit Lions.
