Syracuse Football: Marquise Blair Ineligible To Play, Will Attend JUCO

The four-star recruit will head to junior college to finish up his credits.

Syracuse Orange football usually has one really-talented, highly-touted recruit in each class who doesn't actually make it to campus because of NCAA eligibility issues. 2015 will be no different.

Marquise Blair, the four-star rated safety who we said "might be the best player in the class when all is said and done" will not be able to enroll at SU due to NCAA eligibility issues, per CuseNation.com. According to them, the NCAA did not accept some of Blair's senior year courses, even though the high school and state of Ohio considered them legit.
