DB DUCE CHESTNUT

Midseason Freshman All-American by The Athletic. Chestnut has been the starter from day one and has been terrific for Syracuse. He became just the third true freshman defensive back to start week one for the Orange, joining Andre Cisco and Markus Paul. Chestnut has 28 tackles, four pass breakups, and two interceptions through seven games this season. 

DL CODY ROSCOE

Midseason First Team All-American by The Associated Press. Cody Roscoe has emerged as one of Syracuse's best pass rushers this season. He currently leads the team with 7.5 sacks, which leads the ACC and is tied for fourth nationally. In fact, his 7.5 sacks is tops among all power five players. Roscoe is also fifth nationally with 10.5 tackles for loss, which also leads the ACC. Roscoe is in his second season with the Orange, and final collegiate campaign, after transferring in from McNeese State.

RB SEAN TUCKER

Midseason First Team All-American by The Associated Press and Midseason Second team All-American by The Athletic. Tucker was named to The Associated Press' All-American team as an all-purpose player while he was named the second team running back by The Athletic. Tucker has simply been one of the best players in college football regardless of position this season. He is second in the nation with 948 rushing yards and second with 1,172 all-purpose yards. His nine rushing touchdowns is tied for ninth nationally. Tucker is on pace to break Syracuse's single season rushing record, currently held by Joe Morris. He also has a chance to break 2,000 all-purpose yards.

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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
