We’ve mentioned numerous times this offseason that the Syracuse Orange have quite a few defensive backs on the roster. Make it one less for this season now, according to a report from Syracuse.com.

Clarke, along with former Orange defensive end Jaquwan Nelson, was charged with burglary this offseason. Clarke was reinstated before fall camp, but Nelson was not.
