Five months removed from an injury-riddled 3-9 football season that ended with five straight losses after a 2-0 start, Syracuse is back on track. The players are healthy again, the school has a brand-new training facility, and recruiting is going well.
The opening of Ensley Athletic Center in December has had a big impact from the get-go. The 87,000-square-foot facility, which has the same footprint as the Carrier Dome, enables the football team to have a full 100 yards to practice. It also includes a 7,600 square-foot entry pavilion for meetings, and a video system comparable to those in the NFL that can be operated remotely from nearby Manley Field House.
On the recruiting front, the Orange have a verbal commitment from four-star running back Robert Washington of North Carolina. He chose Syracuse over the likes of Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Southern Cal, Michigan, and Florida.
