Syracuse football reserve linebacker Juan Wallace Jr., who has entered the transfer portal, will reduce the Orange’s depth at that position if he departs.

Juan Wallace Jr., a reserve linebacker with Syracuse football who hails from Washington, D.C., said on Monday that he will enter the transfer portal, although he does have the ability to come back to the Hill if he chooses.

The 6-foot-2, 227-pound Wallace, a three-star prospect in high school, is a rising junior who played in 11 contests for the Orange during his sophomore campaign, primarily as a member of the kick-off return and punt-coverage units, per his bio on cuse.
