Leon Lowery, Aman Greenwood, Malcolm Folk Enter Transfer Portal

Syracuse football loses two defensive players to the portal.

Syracuse football is in the midst of a coaching search to find the new leader of the program. While that is occurring, current players are able to enter the transfer portal. Three Syracuse defensive players entered the portal on Monday, bringing the Orange's total to four. Leon Lowery, Malcolm Folk and Aman Greenwood entered on Monday, joining Jeremiah Wilson who previously entered. 

While the transfer portal does not officially open until December 4th, Syracuse players are allowed to enter since the Orange fired its head coach. NCAA rules dictate players have up until 30 days following a firing if it is outside the normal windows. Graduate transfers are permitted to enter at any time. 

Greenwood and Folk were both reserve defensive backs in 2023 that also contributed on special teams. Lowery was a starting linebacker, racking up 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks as one of the Orange's best edge rushers. 

Syracuse wrapped up its regular season on Saturday with a 35-31 win over Wake Forest. With the victory, the Orange achieved bowl eligibility in back to back seasons for the first time in a decade. Despite that, Syracuse is looking for a new head coach. Following a loss at Georgia Tech, Director of Athletics John Wildhack elected to relieve Dino Babers of his duties.
