The Syracuse Orange haven’t won enough in recent years to draw the type of national recognition that fans would like to see. Sean Tucker’s efforts last year are helping to change that perception. ESPN released their list of the Top 100 players in college football yesterday and the Orange running back finds himself 15th.
Tucker is ranked between Georgia defensive back Keylee RIngo and Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer. Here’s what ESPN had to say about Tucker, who was unranked at this time last year.
At a school known for its running back tradition, Tucker broke the single-season school rushing record in 2021 with 1,496 yards — so that gives you all the context you need about why he absolutely had to be included on this list.
