Syracuse football: Orange adds Nebraska transfer Jalil Martin

The Syracuse Orange football program added their third defensive back this week when Nebraska transfer Jalil Martin committed.

Martin is a 6’2” 200 lb defensive back from Chicago. He redshirted this past season at Nebraska so he’ll have four years of eligibility. Syracuse was one of the schools who offered him out of high school when he was a 3-star recruit.

At first I wondered why the Orange were adding another defensive back, but looking at the roster it’s possible Syracuse could lose Isaiah Johnson, Justin Barron, Aman Greenwood, Jason Simmons and Alijah Clark after the 2023 season.
