The Syracuse Orange are just a few weeks away from starting 2023 practices. With the status of running back LeQuint Allen in doubt, Dino Babers added another JUCO running back to the roster.
John Branham, Jr. committed to join the Orange from Blinn College. The Columbus, Ohio native carried the ball 107 times for 648 yards and seven touchdowns last season for Blinn. He had four games with 100+ rushing yards for the 3-6 Blinn team.
The 5’10” 205-lb back only caught three passes so we’ll have to see if he will project more as a short-yardage back for Syracuse.
