Ben LaBrosse, Syracuse’s starting free safety in the season opener, has left the Orange program. LaBrosse did not play against Rutgers and was left off the week three depth chart. Jason Simmons, a transfer from New Mexico State, started in his place against Rutgers and had a solid day. No reason for his departure was immediately provided.

LaBrosse signed with Syracuse as part of its 2020 recruiting class. He played at Vanier College in Canada and Syracuse was his only division one offer in the United States. LaBrosse impressed during a summer recruiting camp performance and earned an offer from the Orange. He committed shortly there after.

As a true freshman, LaBrosse saw action throughout the season. He impressed during his first training camp and earned defensive snaps right away. Entering his second season, though still classified as a freshman due to the added covid year, he competed with Simmons for the starting free safety spot during training camp. He edged Simmons to earn the start in week one. LaBrosse recorded three total tackles against Ohio.

The loss means the starting free safety spot is Jason Simmons’ moving forward. It also could mean more playing time for reserve Justin Barron and Aman Greenwood. 

The Orange is 1-1 on the 2021 season after a 29-9 win at Ohio followed up by a 17-7 loss at home to Rutgers. Syracuse’s season continues this Saturday against Albany in the Dome.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
