Syracuse football has had an interest offseason to say the least. Marcus Sales was welcomed back, several players were out with injuries during the spring, and spring practices were closed to the media. But as head into July, the anticipation of the start of another season of Syracuse football is starting to elevate.
We decided to take a look at the roster and project how we think things will work out during training camp. Obviously there are unknown factors, such as injuries, but here is how we see things looking heading into the Northwestern game.
Note: Ashton Broyld is listed as the 4th running back, but will see time all over the field. Broyld will get more playing time than the typical fourth running back. However, should there be injuries, he would not be a likely starting candidate. Broyld would maintain his "slash" role, as other running backs receive the bulk of the carries. Freshmen like George Morris or DeVante McFarlane are candidates for that in case of injury.
