Roster Moves: Kalan Ellis Out For Season, Jeremiah Wilson Moved to Safety
Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers announced two roster changes for the remainder of the 2023 season. First, offensive lineman Kalan Ellis is out for the season and will redshirt due to an injury suffered in the preseason. Second, Jeremiah Wilson is moving from cornerback to safety.
Ellis was a start last season and showed a lot of promise as a freshman. He was injured during training camp, however, and has not been able to return. Coach Babers said on Monday that the injury was the exact same as the one that ended Oronde Gadsden's season.
Wilson is an interesting case. He began the season as one of the starting cornerbacks opposite Isaiah Johnson. He even had a pick six in the season opener and played well at Purdue. However, he was benched after giving up some big plays in subsequent games in favor of Jayden Bellamy. Now, despite Bellamy dealing with an injury, Wilson is changing positions.
That means if Bellamy is unable to go, Syracuse will likely look to redshirt freshman Greg Delaine as the other starter at corner.
The Orange currently sits at 4-4 on the season and is in the midst of a four game losing streak. Syracuse will look to snap that streak Friday night against Boston College in the JMA Wireless Dome.
