Related Topics: Tony White, Syracuse, New York, Manlius

Position: Defensive Back

Year: Redshirt Junior

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 204 lbs

Hometown: Manlius, N.Y.

2020 stats: Started the first game of the year at North Carolina, recording four tackles before missing the rest of the season due to injury.

2021 projections: With all the youth in Syracuse’s defensive backs, Coley is the veteran presence that will keep that group anchored. He was one of the three safeties (Andre Cisco and Trill Williams being the others) that knows exactly what Tony White wants in the 3-3-5, so expect him to be the leader of the secondary.
