From Kansas State Athletics: 

Orloff was at Syracuse the last three seasons as both a graduate assistant working with the Orange linebackers and as a quality control coach. He helped Syracuse finished third in the nation in takeaways in 2018, while the Orange also broke the school's sack record that season. He went to Upstate New York after spending the three seasons prior as a defensive and special teams graduate assistant at UNLV.

Orloff earned his undergraduate degree from San Jose State in 2015 as he was an offensive undergraduate assistant for the Spartans for five seasons. He also has master's degrees from both UNLV (special education) and Syracuse (instructional design, development & evaluation).

Syracuse finished the 2020 season 1-10 while battling through injuries that impacted nearly every position on the roster. The Orange was forced to play three quarterbacks due to injury, had to move a fullback to interior offensive lineman, and at one time was down all three safeties that started week one.

Syracuse is looking for a bounce back 2021 campaign, and has added transfer portal talent to help achieve that goal. That includes quarterback Garrett Shrader and defensive back Jason Simmons. In addition, offensive lineman Chris Bleich is now eligible after sitting last season due to NCAA transfer rules.

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.
