Syracuse Football: Moe Neal aspires to be the next LaDainian Tomlinson

The Syracuse football program is synonymous with the legacy of No. 44. Syracuse and running backs go together like salt and pepper.

Although that hasn’t been the case over the last several years, Junior running back Moe Neal is hoping to change that narrative. The speedster from Gastonia, North Carolina is entering his third campaign in Orange.

Neal was one of Dino Babers first recruits upon arriving on the hill. On paper, Neal is a perfect scheme fit in what Babers likes to do with his ‘Orange is the New Fast’ offense. A scat back at (5-foot-11 and 169 pounds), that can just do so many different things.
