Ok. Does anyone remember the black guy on SU in the roughly mid 2000s maybe between like 05-07 who we brought out exclusively to clear the ball and he was no exaggeration the fastest human being i have ever seen play the sport?? I think he had a nickname like “Scooter” or something appropriate that. That dude was the man and definitely a crowd favorite. Anyone know who I’m talking about? Wish there was some footage of the guy.

Drew Jenkins? He was 2011-2014.

Definitely not him

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Definitely not him

He was a crowd favorite.

Except when he played defense.

Or offense.

I only remember him being a SSDM, always thought he played hard and held his own a lot times despite his size.

 

[DoctahLexus]

Drew Jenkins? He was 2011-2014.

Not drew and not jovan. He played very very little. Exclusively functioned as a one man clear. Since he played so little I suppose he is not the easiest to remember but if you saw him live it was quite the sight. Will do more research.

 

[ohmilax34]

Craig Hammond?

 

[illestcuse]

Are we talking about Hakeem Lecky?

Edit: oops— you said early 2000’s lol I’ll exit the chat now.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Are we talking about Hakeem Lecky?

The Man from Nantucket.

 

[DoctahLexus]

Craig Hammond?

Yes!! Looked him up and that has to be him. Even says in his little bio for one of the years “his speed was used in clearing situations.” Thanks! Craig Hammond - Men's Lacrosse - Syracuse University Athletics
Now if only we could find some footage. Will work on it.

Drew will always have that fast break clear in the duke game in the acc tourney. Enthusiasm goes a long way

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Ira Vanderpool is honorable mention. Always appreciated his game

 

[Bill Orange]

Rodney Dumpson should be somewhere on this list. 1st middie line with Gary and Paul.

[orange79]

I would have given anything to be able to watch him play lacrosse. Or football for that matter.

My parents used to drive from Rochester to see him play football in Archbold.

It's in my blood.
