This year Syracuse was shut out of the NFL draft for only the second time since 1975, according to Syracuse.com, but it’s doubtful the Orange will be blanked in 2016.
Syracuse.com released a list of Orange players most likely to be drafted next season and the prospects looked promising. Guard/center Rob Trudo, quarterback Terrel Hunt, offensive tackle Ivan Foy, corner Julian Whigham and hybrid back Ashton Broyld comprised the list.
Trudo is a 6-4, 300-pounder who has started 33 games in three seasons, while Hunt is a 6-3, 234-pound electric QB who has shown plenty of potential when healthy.
The 6-5, 292-pound Foy has switched from right tackle to left tackle, but is coming off of a season where he only played six games due to a knee injury. Prior to that, he started all 13 games as a redshirt sophomore.
Broyld, who stands at 6-3, 216 pounds, has played five different positions for Syracuse and is still finding himself. Broyld’s full talents are expected to be put on display this season in offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s offense. Whigham struggled last season, but another year as a starter should allow him to excel and be play more consistent.
