Syracuse Orange

Syracuse suffered a tough blow on the injury front when head coach Dino Babers announced that starting cornerback Garrett Williams will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL suffered in Saturday's loss to Notre Dame. The announcement came during Babers weekly press conference on Monday. Williams is the fourth starter to be lost from injury, joining wide receiver Isaiah Jones, fullback Chris Elmore, linebacker Stefon Thompson and defensive lineman Terry Lockett.

Williams finishes the 2022 season with 36 tackles, two interceptions, three pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The 36 tackles is tied for third on the team and is first among defensive backs. In addition, the two interceptions tied for the team lead while he was second in pass breakups to safety Jason Simmons.

Williams is considered one of if not the best cover corners in the ACC. He returned to Syracuse for the 2022 season rather than turning pro in hopes of increasing his NFL Draft stock. He has played very well this season and seemed well on his way to doing just that prior to this injury.

The Orange is currently 6-2 and ranked 22nd in the nation. Next up for Syracuse is a road matchup at Pittsburgh on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Eastern.

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.
