As the Syracuse Orange football season approaches, the pre-season award nominations are piling up. Let’s recap what Syracuse players have been recognized so far:
Quarterback Garrett Shrader has been named to the watch lists for the Maxwell, Manning, Wuerffel and Davey O’Brien. Shrader has been easing back into practice after off-season surgery, but expectations are high for the senior signal-caller.
His main target, Oronde Gadsden II has also been named to the Maxwell Award watch list. Gadsden has earned a spot on the Biletnikoff Award watch list, the pre-season All-AC team and was 97th on ESPN’s Top 100 players list.
