Follow The Fizz on Twitter for the latest SU football news
Syracuse coaches are keeping an eye on 6’3’’, 225-pound inside linebacker Colton Cardinal. Cardinal attends Franklin High School in Franklin, Massachusetts and has also drawn interest from Boston College, Connecticut and Virginia. SU has not offered Cardinal a scholarship yet because coaches want to evaluate him further at a clinic in June.
Coming from a midsized public school in Massachusetts, Cardinal is flying under the radar and is somewhat of an unknown on the Division I recruiting circuit. None of the major recruiting websites has information on him. The Orange is certainly interested in his services, however, mainly because of his impressive tape.
On what he has to do to get an offer from SU: 
“June 5th I go up to do a full workout [at a Syracuse football clinic]. They’re really focused on my speed. So I want to run a good 40, do a five-ten-five and an L drill and do the best I possibly can.”
On his visit in June: 
“It’s a camp clinic, so they count it as a clinic. It’s invite-only. I’ll be there with probably 10 to 15 other recruits. We’ll all work out together. We do position specific drills and if [the coaches] like what they see, then I think I’ll get a scholarship later on that day.”
On his best attribute:
“I’d go with my size. I have pretty fast feet for my size. I like to think that APEX and our strength coach have worked me out hard over the years and it’s all paid off finally.”
On what he’s looking forward to most in his senior year:
“The brotherhood. This is a bond that I’ll probably never forget for the rest of my life. Looking back, I just want to have a winning season with the guys that I’ve played with my entire life.”
On what it would mean to him to get an SU offer:
“It would be great. It would definitely open up some doors for me. It would give me a whole bunch of self pride and make me feel like I’ve deserved what I’ve worked so hard for.”

Young man looks good on tape…appears to have good LB instincts/smart.
6’3″ 225 lb as a junior aint shabby. When was the last time CUSE had a MLB 6’3″ 235 or more?(Arciniega?) Sure would be nice to have that runstopping, downhill playing, hole stuffer!!
I wonder about his mindset walking in with a quote like, “an offer would open some doors for me”. Is he suggesting that he is looking for more or better offers? I hope he is as good as an offer would suggest, and I have confidence Syracuse is enough program to impress and keep him.
We or the team needs a big fast inside backer so I’m hoping this kid shows well gets the offer and accepts it with a commit if everything he sees is AOK. June could be a big month for the program’s immediate future or 2015 which is close enough to be considered immediate IMO.
Most MASS players that pan out in quality are from the urban or suburbs of urban areas!! If he not in one of these kind of schools, that concerns me!!
Hell yes he wants others to see him
MALONE. Can’t blame him on that can you??N
Do not forget the kids of PSABUSEDU!! THE NCAA DID!!
No I don’t blame him, just saying that he has essentially stated Orange is not his favorite color before even camping. This is not a 5* saying this, it is an us offered NR. If the coaches think he’s good enough and he wants to be here, then I’m glad to have him, but out of the gate it’s pretty disrespectful.
Meant Un-offered
THIS COLTON LOOKS GOOD BUT HIS TAPE IS NOT AS GOOD AS OUR LATEST COLTON WHO IS SLATED TO BE A MLB AT SU. MOSKUL IS MUCH QUICKER. ZAIRE FRANKLIN’S TAPE SHOWS ALOT OF ABILITY COMING TO THE HILL THIS SUMMER. 2015 WILL BE A TOUGH YEAR AT LB FOR SU WITH 3 NEW STARTERS AFTER LYNCH, DAVIS, ARCINIEGA AND KIRKLAND DEPART. IF HODGE GETS THE NOD IN THE MIDDLE AND SOME OF OUR FRESHMAN GET SOME GAME TIME, 2015 MAY NOT BE AS SUSPECT AT THE LB POSITION.
