Get To Know Your Orange Man - No. 73, OT Jon Burton

Name: Jon Burton

Position: Offensive tackle

Year: (Redshirt) Junior

Height: 6'8"

Weight: 319

Hometown: Spotsylvania, Va.

High School: Courtland

2015 Stats: Burton saw the field in two different games, both on special teams.

2016 Projections: Burton's currently slated as the Syracuse Orange's third left tackle, so that doesn't project to be a ton of playing time on the line. But perhaps he's plugged in further at special teams.

How'd He Get Here: Former Orange offensive line coach Greg Adkins brought him into the fold, and Syracuse managed to hold onto him despite aggressive pursuit from other schools after Adkins's departure.
