Courtney Jackson Enters Transfer Portal

In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse wide receiver Courtney Jackson has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, according to multiple reports. Jackson had 62 receptions for 662 yards and four touchdowns during his career with the Orange. He has two years of eligibility remaining wherever he chooses to continue his career. Jackson is the third Syracuse receiver to enter the portal, joining Anthony Queeley and Dom Foster.

Jackson signed with Syracuse as part of its 2019 recruiting class as a track star and highly productive high school receiver. He picked the Orange over Baylor, Cincinnati, Kentucky, West Virginia and several others. He started his collegiate career as a slot receiver who also returned punts on occasion. During this past season, he transitioned to an outside receiver but did not have more than three catches in a game and only had one touchdown in total. This after leading the Orange in receptions during the 2021 campaign.

Departures via the transfer portal are not unexpected and will occur at every program across the country. Despite the emergence of Oronde Gadsden this season, and increased production from Damien Alford over the last two games, Syracuse is expected to look for receiving options through the portal this offseason. The loss of multiple experienced players at the position will only enhance those expectations.

Syracuse finished the 2022 season 7-5 (4-4) and is awaiting its bowl destination.

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.
