Syracuse football: Sean Tucker wants to wear 44, plus new clarity on who makes decision

Like many outlets that cover the Syracuse Orange, we’ve spent some time discussing the number 44 this year, and why it should be reinstated for Sean Tucker. Discussion of the historic number has reached both Tucker and Orange coach Dino Babers at this point, and both addressed it with media on Tuesday.

Importantly, Tucker stated “Where I stand on that is basically that I would definitely like to wear it. So if it comes, I’ll wear it. If I can, I definitely will.”

This doesn’t come as a surprise after Tucker posted an Instagram story a week ago with him wearing 44.
