Syracuse football turning senior into a 6-foot-5 slot receiver

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The five-year odyssey of Jamal Custis has included three positions and two injuries, a non-formulaic path that requires a kind of resolve befitting of a program filled with a group of guys dead set on ending a postseason dry spell.

For the fifth-year receiver and Philadelphia native, the latest move, one of the most intriguing in spring practice, is to the inside, where he sticks out like a redwood among a forest of maples. The end game, of course, is to create mismatches against a defense, to pinpoint an opponent's weak spots and relentlessly bludgeon it.
