Syracuse football: JUCO transfer DB Michael Moore fails to qualify

Tough news for Moore and the SU program today, as he’s unable to join the team.

When we previewed the Syracuse Orange defensive backs this week, we were cautious about including Michael Moore and James Pierre just yet, as they’d yet to qualify.

Ends up Syracuse will be without Moore, at the very least.

On Friday, Dino Babers said that Moore had not qualified for Syracuse University academically, therefore would not be joining the team this season. The Palomar College (San Marcos, Calif.) transfer was supposed to be a big help for the inexperienced Orange as they transitioned to a new scheme in the Tampa-2.
