What Should We Expect From Damien Alford This Season?
Damien Alford’s journey since he got to Syracuse has been a fascinating one. The Canadian has shown flashes of being a number-1 receiver at the collegiate level with his deep ball prowess, but there have been instances where he just disappears or is not noticeable on the field. Earlier this offseason, we thought his time…

Could Dan Villari Really Switch Positions?
Believe it or not, the final week of training camp is underway. A key question throughout has been the wide receiver room. No one on last year’s roster topped 400 receiving yards, so it goes without saying that Dino Babers and company need someone to break out this year. A new candidate broke out in…

WR Ed Hendrix Enters Transfer Portal
Syracuse wideout Ed Hendrix announced his decision to enter the transfer portal yesterday, and the decision leaves SU‚Äôs wide receiver room thinner than ever. The Orange already lost Nykeim Johnson back in January via transfer to Kent State, meaning Syracuse now returns just two players with notable starting experience at wideout. Hendrix’s departure now means…

Syracuse’s Most Important Players: #4 Taj Harris
Trishton Jackson is gone, and so are his 66 catches for 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns. Jackson‚Äôs departure for the NFL leaves a massive hole in the Syracuse offense, and QB Tommy DeVito without a number one option. It‚Äôs a chasm that Taj Harris has to fill. Harris had an extremely disappointing sophomore season in…

Syracuse eyes quartet of pass catchers in 2020, 2021, 2022
The success of Syracuse‚Äôs wide receivers since Dino Babers became head coach prior to the 2016 season has been absolutely outstanding.

Who Is Syracuse’s 2018 Breakout Receiver?
Dino Babers likes to stress being ‚Äúconsistently good, not occasionally great.‚Äù But in each of Babers’ two years at SU, he has had at least one consistently great wide receiver. Both Amba Etta-Tawo and Steve Ishmael put up record-breaking numbers in their final seasons with the Orange en route to All-American honors. Now, Syracuse needs…

Did Syracuse Find Its Third Receiver?
Remember when Syracuse seemed like a shoe in for five star tight end Chris Clark‚Äôs services? Then when SU pulled his offer, Orange fans were up in arms and confused. Four star recruits are a rare sight in Central New York, let alone a five star guy. Yesterday, Clark came to Syracuse as a member…

Why Erv Philips having a big game Saturday was critical for SU
In case you haven‚Äôt heard by now, SU football is 2-3 after a loss to NC State on Saturday. Despite the loss, there was a gigantic bright spot in the form of Erv Philips. The senior wideout caught a school-record and ACC-record 17 passes for 188 yards. Both of those marks also served as career-highs…
