Confirming a story first reported by The Juice Online, Syracuse University announced on Tuesday afternoon that they will begin construction on a new $17 million indoor practice facility for the football team.
As we wrote last week, the football program is adding to its facilities portfolio with a full 120-yard field indoor football building, and the hope is for ground to be broken in early spring, but there may not be any sort of major public announcement for a little while.
There are 19 players in the class, including four offensive linemen, three defensive linemen, three linebackers, three wide receivers, two quarterbacks, two tight ends and two defensive backs.
I had a really good relationship with Coach Shaffer. Coach Marrone, he was a great guy, but coach Shaf, me and him really clicked because he’s a defensive minded coach.
