Money quote: Von Marburg told si.com that his decision to come to Syracuse went pretty smoothly despite the unique challenges of overseas recruiting.

“Syracuse really came from the start. They loved my product. They thought I’d be a great fit at the university. We were like ‘we’re definitely going to go with them because it’s an amazing academic and football institution, which was pretty key to me. It just fit the mold perfectly.”
