Syracuse Football Sitdown: Getting To Know Tyrone Sampson

Over the course of the offseason we’ve talked to several key Syracuse football recruits. This one could be the best of them all.

I’m not going to sugar coat this. This may be one of the biggest Syracuse football recruits this century. SU needed a signing like this in the worst of ways. They’ve swung and missed on so many talented players that they were due to get a big fish and a big one they got.

Tyrone Sampson is one of the best interior linemen coming out of high school football. SU isn’t used to getting four-star recruits, so excuse our giddiness. Pairing this signing with that of Tommy DeVito and it seems like Dino Babers is changing the culture pretty quickly.

So we decided to sitdown with the big man and discuss why he chose the Orange, some of his interests outside of football, and his favorite parts of the game. Sampson is a very interesting person with a variety of interests and intrigue.
