For the past four seasons, Syracuse Orange football has visited Fort Drum for preseason practices, a tradition started by Doug Marrone and continued under Scott Shafer. The trip has included practices, scrimmages, team-building exercises, and more while players and coaches got the opportunity to interact with military personnel.
On Wednesday, head coach Dino Babers told media that Syracuse will again be visiting Fort Drum during fall camp for the fifth straight year. The schedule is still being finalized, but in the past teams have stayed for a little under a week or so in mid-August.
