Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football is in the midst of a coaching search to find the new leader of the program. While that is occurring, current players are able to enter the transfer portal. Three Syracuse defensive players entered the portal on Monday, bringing the Orange's total to four. Leon Lowery, Malcolm Folk and Aman Greenwood entered on Monday, joining Jeremiah Wilson who previously entered.

While the transfer portal does not officially open until December 4th, Syracuse players are allowed to enter since the Orange fired its head coach. NCAA rules dictate players have up until 30 days following a firing if it is outside the normal windows. Graduate transfers are permitted to enter at any time.

Greenwood and Folk were both reserve defensive backs in 2023 that also contributed on special teams. Lowery was a starting linebacker, racking up 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks as one of the Orange's best edge rushers.

Syracuse wrapped up its regular season on Saturday with a 35-31 win over Wake Forest. With the victory, the Orange achieved bowl eligibility in back to back seasons for the first time in a decade. Despite that, Syracuse is looking for a new head coach. Following a loss at Georgia Tech, Director of Athletics John Wildhack elected to relieve Dino Babers of his duties.

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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
