Dual-sport athlete Jack Bliss has become instrumental for Jamesville-DeWitt. In 2025, the Ohio State men’s lacrosse commit earned First-Team All-OHSL honors. This year, he’s helped engineer the Red Rams’ turnaround after a 0-3 start.

“He didn’t come in with a big head.” After five seasons as a linebacker for Syracuse, Derek McDonald transferred to North Carolina. There, he’s quickly become a defensive anchor for the Tar Heels, pulling on his 27 starts with SU.

Kristjan Fortier said this SU team is the “most talented” he’s played with — so talented that he marked the date of the College Cup Final in his calendar months ago.
Is this finally the year his vision becomes reality? He barely hesitates. @DOsports

Again, two QBs are out for Syracuse against UNC. Amari Odom will miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury while Malachi Nelson is set to miss his first.
Steve Angeli is listed as questionable. If he can’t go, Danny Lauter will likely get his first start.
