Get to Know Your Orange Man: #17 DB Jalil Martin
It’s time to start preparing for the upcoming Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get ready for a critical season for the Orange.
Up next is….
Name: Jalil Martin
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Redshirt Freshman
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 190 lbs.
Hometown: Chicago, Ill.
High school: Kenwood Academy
Previous school: Nebraska
2022 stats: Did not play in his first and only year at Nebraska.
2023 projections: It remains to be seen if he plays corner or safety, although it’s more likely the latter. The natural 6-foot-2 height makes Martin an enticing option to have in the regular rotation of defensive backs for Rocky Long.
