Share:

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Wide receiver is the ultimate reload spot for Syracuse.

The number of accumulated 2017 catches by the Orange wide receiver corps at the end of last season totaled 320. By the time spring ball started, 194 of those receptions had departed in the form of All-American Steve Ishmael (a school-record 105) and Ervin Philips (89), who completed their eligibility, and are currently in NFL training camps. In all, Syracuse lost 61.9 percent of its receptions from 2017.

Similar turnover at the position has been dealt with before.
