Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football has landed its first transfer of the offseason. Richmond transfer offensive lineman Joe More has committed to the Orange during an official visit this weekend. He has one year of eligibility remaining as a graduate transfer. More is listed at 6-5, 302 pounds on Richmond Athletics' website and says he is coming to Central New York to play tackle.

"It's honestly a perfect situation for me," More said. "The coaches are amazing and it's a great opportunity to get to the NFL. I'm ready to go make a splash in the ACC."

More played his high school ball at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Tennessee. He started nearly every game for the Spiders since the start of the 2019 season, primarily at right tackle.

Starting left tackle Matthew Bergeron is likely headed to the NFL Draft, leaving a huge vacancy at tackle. While Enrique Cruz came on towards the end of the season and will certainly be in the mix to earn one of the starting spots, the more competition the better for the Orange.

Depth has also been an issue due to injuries over the last couple of seasons. Adding an experienced veteran who can come in, compete for a starting spot and increase the depth up front.

Syracuse has offered several prospects in the portal, most notably along the offensive and defensive lines. The Orange has now landed one on the offensive side.

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.
