Player outlook:
Cole’s going to walk into a crowded defensive backfield when he arrives at Syracuse. This doesn’t mean he won’t see the field early in his career as we’ve seen injuries force other young DB’s into action right away. Cole’s a little smaller than the current Orange corners and with a 4.7 40 time he doesn’t project as a lockdown corner. Where he might fit in is playing a nickel or slot corner where he has to handle the inside receivers and cover while navigating the middle of the field.
