Syracuse Football: Orange Scholarship Situation Heading Into 2016

Related Topics: Syracuse Orange, Scholarship

We're always talking about Syracuse Orange basketball scholarships around here, but rarely dive into football. SU football gets 85 scholarships to hand out each season, and recently, they've fallen short of that number more often than not due to attrition, under-recruiting, etc.

They'll do so again in 2016, it seems.

At current, Syracuse has 81 scholarships committed, if you include the incoming 2016 kids, plus grad transfers Amba Etta-Tawo (already signed) and Gabe Sherrod (will sign for July). That's four under the limit. Of those 81, 14 are expected to run out of eligibility this fall.
