By The Numbers: Syracuse Football Scholarship Update
Syracuse football signed three players during the traditional National Signing Day in Greg Delaine, Brady Denaburg and Kevin Jobity. With the addition of those three, what is Syracuse football's scholarship situation?
The Orange has lost players to the transfer portal, but added through traditional high school recruiting as well as utilizing the portal to bring in talent.
As it currently stands, Syracuse has 82 scholarships allotted for the 2022 season. The NCAA limit is 85, giving the Orange three scholarships to play with. We know Syracuse is after Dartmouth transfer defensive back Isaiah Johnson, who is deciding on February 7th. If Johnson picks Syracuse, it would leave the Orange with two scholarships available.
After spring, a new crop of players will likely enter the portal. Syracuse may lose some players as well, which would open up more scholarship opportunities.
Here is a breakdown, by position, of the aforementioned 82 scholarships.
Note: The list below includes players with eligibility who have not entered the portal or turned pro as well as transfers who have announced their commitment as well as class of 2022 recruits who have signed with Syracuse. Incoming transfers and 2022 recruits are noted accordingly.
