Deep Stable of Backs Gives Orange Options in the Run Game

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse Orange will have no shortage of running back depth this season, with senior Moe Neal, redshirt junior Abdul Adams and sophomore Jarveon Howard leading a talented backfield that also includes redshirt sophomore Markenzy Pierre and freshmen Jawhar Jordan and Garrison Johnson.

Entering his fourth year in the program, Neal has been through just about everything there is to experience in college football. Among the items left on his personal agenda is to break the 1,000-yard rushing barrier, which no one has hit at Syracuse since Jerome Smith ran for 1,171 yards in 2012.
