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.

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.
