Historically speaking, Syracuse sports in general haven’t been big proponents of utilizing the transfer process. This year is the try-out basis for both football and basketball.

With how good Amba Etta-Tawo has looked, Jim Boeheim should feel pretty good about new Syracuse transfers: John Gillon and Andrew White. While the Orange football team found a gem in Etta-Tawo this offseason.

He has absolutely exploded onto the scene here early and often for the Orange. 40 receptions, 706 yards, and five scores to be exact.

But where did all this production suddenly come from? We decided to sit down with, Chris Bengel, Site Expert for the Terrapin Station to find out.
