Syracuse football has officially bolstered its defensive line with a lower-level addition.
Earlier this month, Cody Roscoe announced on Twitter that he will be transferring into Dino Babers‘ Syracuse football program. This week, the Orange confirmed the defensive lineman has signed with the program. The defensive lineman is coming to the ACC school from McNeese State.
Because he comes in from an FCS program, Roscoe will be eligible to play immediately in 2020. According to a release, Roscoe is already enrolled in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences.
Roscoe was a two-year starter for the Cowboys. He totaled 19 tackles for loss and 13½ sacks in that action. The lineman had 11 tackles for loss and nine sacks this postseason, with both totals good for second on the team.
The FCS player is one of the few additions for a Syracuse football program that has lost its share to the portal this offseason. Since mid-March, the Orange has seen four of their players leave for the NCAA transfer database.

- Linebacker Juan Wallace (HERE)
- Linebacker Kadeem Trotter (HERE)
- Cornerback Allen Stritzinger (HERE)
Wallace, incidentally, has since moved on to Kent State.
Syracuse is set to open the 2020 college football season at Boston College Sept. 4.
