The chance to play at a Power Five school with a rich football history like Syracuse was too good to pass up, 3-star offensive lineman Liam O'Sullivan told Scout.com when explaining his decision to decommit from Cincinnati and head to Syracuse. O'Sullivan is just one of several recruits Dino Babers and his staff were able to flip, and his presence should help booster the Orange offensive line.

Highlights:
Player Breakdown: Listed on Scout as having run a 4.85 40-yard dash, O'Sullivan definitely has the speed necessary to quickly get off the line of scrimmage. The concern is, at just 240 pounds, O'Sullivan is considerably undersized for an offensive lineman. He will most certainly need to bulk up if he wants a chance at eventually cracking the starting lineup, but that's what the summer and a potential redshirt is for.
