A couple additional side notes: No walk-ons for 2017 yet, so those players will be added later on (unless they arrived in spring like Jesse Conners did). Devin M. Butler also changed his number for 7 (which it was during spring) to 10. Ravian Pierce adjusted his from No. 14 to No. 6.
Syracuse.com’s Stephen Bailey recognized that JUCO safety Mykelti Williams is not on the roster yet.
Also worth noting that defensive end Jaquwan Nelson is no longer listed on the official roster, though Devon Clarke still is. Clarke and Nelson were both arrested earlier in the year for their role in a robbery.
Welcome (officially) to the new guys. Time to start getting acquainted with the new numbers we’ll be seeing on the field and sidelines this fall.
