Senior tight end Aaron Hackett has entered the transfer portal, he confirmed to The Daily Orange in a text message on Monday. He will not return to Syracuse in 2021.

Hackett has one remaining year of eligibility, due to the NCAA’s ruling that the fall season would not count as a year of eligibility. Prior to the season, Hackett was planning to opt-out because he was not 100% healthy after a torn pectoral muscle hindered his offseason, his father, David said.
