2023 projections: The Orange are looking to replace the production of Ja’Had Carter from the safety position and Gould will be one of the players that gets a shot. Even if he doesn’t win the starting job, he’s likely to see a lot of time next fall.

What’d recruiting sites say?: Four stars from everyone but On3. Ranked as a top 25 defensive back in his class.

Money quote: Gould was sold on the opportunity to find contribute in the Syracuse secondary.

“It’s an opportunity to come in and compete for a spot, contribute,” Gould said. “They see me at a couple different positions in the secondary. A couple different safety positions, the rover position. They know I can do different things. They want me to come in and make an impact early, and that’s really what I’m looking for.”
