Winston Lee, Syracuse
15 of 17
Top time: 6.68 in 60-meter dash
Winston Lee walked on to the Syracuse football team, but he's doing plenty of running for the track squad.
During the 2017 indoor season, Lee won the 60-meter at the Villanova Open, Crimson Elite and Deneault Memorial. He also finished fourth at the ACC Championships.
Lee appeared in three games as a sophomore, making his first career tackle in the season opener. Syracuse may continue to use Lee on special teams next year.

Top time: 6.66 in 60-meter dash
Arizona desperately needed a running back in 2016, so the team moved Tyrell Johnson from wide receiver. He didn't occupy a massive role, but Johnson provided useful depth for the Wildcats.
That's relatively similar to Johnson’s track career, which was brief yet successful. Two years ago, he finished fifth in the 60-meter dash at the MPSF Indoor Track and Field Championships and third in the 100-meter dash at the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships.
Johnson averaged 5.1 yards per carry in limited work last season. In 36 career appearances, he's accumulated 1,626 all-purpose yards and four total touchdowns.

Not only is Donte Jackson the fastest player in college football, LSU's track team is benefiting from the cornerback's speed.
In three career 60-meter finals, he’s placed third (2016 LSU Twilight), second (2017 New Mexico Classic) and eighth (2017 SEC Championships).
He gathered 26 tackles and one interception as a freshman before earning a starting role and tallying 39 stops, two picks and eight pass breakups last year. Jackson will be an essential piece of the LSU secondary in 2017.

Syracuse at dark: Photos capture the city after workers go home (PS; Nett)
What does downtown Syracuse look like after workers head home for the day?
Downtown streets are generally still.
Street lights bathe sidewalks, streets with warm light.
Office building lights form squares of light, but nobody is in the windows.
It's a beautiful, different scene than during the day, one that many don't ever see, so I decided to try to capture the city at dark.
Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light and using a long exposure exposing the scene for seconds, minutes, and even hours. I chose a long exposure with the camera on a tripod. Most of my exposures were 2-3 seconds long with the aperture at f 5.6.
One by-product of the long exposures can be blurred lines from cars lights.
Some photos were taken at ground level. For others, I went to the roof of the Merchants Commons building that house our offices or to a parking garage to near Interstate 81.
I enjoy taking these pictures at dusk, just before the darkest stage of twilight after sunset and just before night.
