The Syracuse football squad continues to add talent to their roster for not only this season but future seasons. Here’s a player that can’t wait to suit up.

We’ve broken down dozens of prospects here on ITLH for the Syracuse football and basketball team alike. But one thing we’ve never done is project this far out before.

But there’s always a first time for everything, right? So now we’re looking into the crystal ball an extra year deeper than usual with this prospect.

His name is Mershawn Rice. He’s a versatile player that can play both offense and defense. We talked with Rice about his offer from the Cuse, Amba Etta-Tawo’s impact, Dino Babers’ speech and more.

If you’d like to check out any of our previous interviews with future football recruits, you’ll notice them in the slides to come. Well without further adieu lets get into this historic interview with hopefully a future Orange star.
