Tylik Hill Steps Into Starter Role | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Tylik Hill is poised to shine as Syracuse’s starting running back this season, stepping into the spotlight after a breakout performance against Colgate last year—despite an odd exit that had coaches laughing. Now with the top spot on the depth chart, Hill’s been laser-focused on mastering the playbook, sharpening his pass protection, and boosting his football IQ—all while earning reps and even snagging an orange jersey in fall camp. His shifty style and deceptive speed have caught the eye of running backs coach Dennis Thomas. Back from a devastating Achilles injury, quarterback Steve Angeli is also ready to lead, having once led the nation in passing yards. With a revamped defense under new coordinator Vince Kehres, who’s bringing aggressive, takeaway-heavy schemes, Syracuse looks primed to dominate New Hampshire—a team that gave up tons of rushing yards and penalties in their opener. Keep an eye on rising cornerback Chris Peal, drawing NFL draft buzz, and several players on national award watch lists, even as injuries loom, including for LSU transfer Ju’Juan Johnson. The Orange are aiming for a strong start. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
