Syracuse football struggled to a 5-7 finish in 2019, things won’t get easier in 2020. Prior to the start of the new year, the Orange learned that star wide receiver Trishton Jackson would be foregoing his final year of eligibility to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
In 13 games with the Orange (including the Camping World Bowl in 2018), Jackson hauled in 69 receptions for 1,050 yards and 12 touchdowns. The cherry on top of that pie is TJ averaged over 15 yards per reception.
Trishton’s decision to leave the team surprised many in the Syracuse football community and now makes it that much more difficult to try and turn things around next season.
