Syracuse Orange

Syracuse defensive lineman Denis Jaquez is out for the season, head coach Dino Babers said following the Orange's 40-7 loss at North Carolina. Babers initially said they lost someone for the year but would not say who. A few minutes later, a reporter asked about Denis Jaquez since left the game with an apparent injury, and Babers confirmed he was the player done for the season. A tough blow for the Orange defensive line.

Jaquez had 12 tackles with 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble in six games this season. The 6-4, 254 pound defensive end started all six games as a true sophomore.

This is the third Syracuse player to be lost for the season due to injury, joining tight end Oronde Gadsden and offensive lineman David Wohlabaugh.

Jaquez came to Syracuse as part of the Orange's 2022 recruiting class out of St. Augustine Prep in New Jersey. He signed with Syracuse over offers from Appalachian State, Boston College, Maryland, Northwestern, Rutgers, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. Jaquez saw action right away as a true freshman, appearing in six games during the 2022 season. He emerged as a potential starter with a strong spring and followed that up with a strong training camp to earn a starting position.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
