Ohio OLB Zack Lesko Commits to SU as a Preferred Walk-On (PS; Bailey)
Syracuse picked up a commitment from Solon (Ohio) High School senior outside linebacker Zack Lesko on Wednesday, he announced on Twitter.
Lesko will join the program this summer as a preferred walk-on.
The 6-foot-1, 212-pound Lesko was a key contributor for Solon on both sides of the ball last season, also playing wide receiver as the Comets went 9-3. He also had walk-on opportunities at Marshall and Liberty, and runs a 4.67 40-yard dash, according to his Hudl.com page.
Solon was once an SU feeder school. Grads who later played for SU include Dave Meggyesy and Roger Davis.
Orange Pick Up UMD Transfer WR Amba Etta-Tawo (TNIAAM; Keeley)
Etta-Tawo immediately becomes the clubhouse leader in Best Names.
Syracuse Orange fans were greeted with a bit of a surprise Tuesday evening when CuseNation.com's Mike McAllister announced that Maryland Terrapins grad transfer wide receiver Amba Etta-Tawo had picked SU as his playing destination next season.
Testudo Times, tell us things!
In three seasons at Maryland, he tallied 61 catches for 938 yards and three touchdowns. His career highs in all three of those categories came during his redshirt freshman season in 2013. The Georgia native was fourth on the team in catches and fifth in receiving yards in 2015.
SB Nation's Maryland blog also says that Etta-Tawo was likely to be lost in the WR shuffle this season at Maryland. His career with the Terps appears to have been muted but the potential is there for him to be a contributor in a wide receiving corp that's among Syracuse's deepest units already. Assuming he's gotten his issue with the drops under control.

A Review of CNY Statues, Sculptures and Monuments (PS; Blalock)
The statues of Syracuse University great football heroes — Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Ernie Davis, Floyd "Ben" Schwartzwalder — adds a graceful energy to the stark white Plaza 44 in front of the new Clifford J. Ensley Athletic Center at Syracuse University.
Syracuse has statues and monuments of known and forgotten heroes in our parks and on our campus grounds that might have become so commonplace that we forget they are there, like the monument in Forman Park with the statue of Joshua Forman, recognized as the founder of Syracuse.
Sculptures of artists that work from the human figure can also be found throughout Syracuse. The Everson Museum has a sculpture of one of the most famous sculptors in the 20-century, Henry Moore, at their entrance.
