Syracuse head coach Fran Brown released the team's first depth chart of the season on Monday ahead of the opening game against New Hampshire. The roster features Tylik Hill at running back with Matthew Outten listed as the second option, while transfers Ahmed Miller and Ju’Juan Johnson remain in the mix. Brown confirmed that Johnson will not suit up for Saturday’s game but Miller is expected to play. The quarterback depth chart remains fluid behind starter Steve Angeli, with Malachi Nelson and Amari Odom expected to see action. Additionally, linebacker Gary Bryant and wide receiver Tyshawn Russell have returned to practice following injuries. Justus Ross-Simmons is currently eligible to compete while awaiting a September 11th court date, leading Brown to indicate that the team plans to utilize the receiver while his status remains clear.
