Like many of the incoming freshmen, Friends Academy running back Tyrone Perkins is a team captain and active in his community. The school, located in Locust Valley, N.Y., is a Quaker school big on service. The football team puts together gift baskets, helps out at a local men's shelter and raises funds through flag football games. The Syracuse football program's mission statement, which reads in part "quietly serving the community," struck a chord with Perkins, and when he was on campus for his unofficial visit, he met with the women involved in food service and a received a hug from one, a powerful gesture that reminded him of home, where the yearbook dedication went to food service people.[B]...[/B] [/I] [B][URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2014/04/syracuse_football_recruiting_chandler_jones_college_decision_down_to_louisville.html']OL Chandler Jones (Georgia) Will Announce College Selection on Twitter Tonight at 7 PM (PS; Mink)[/URL][/B] [I] [URL='http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1765120/highlights/111433409']Chandler Jones[/URL], a 6-foot-4, 310-pound offensive guard from Powder Springs, Ga., is set to make a verbal commitment to either Syracuse or Louisville on Friday night.

In order to make the traveling squad, Hines needed to be among the best 35 players on a roster of 50, and he made it his priority to earn a spot on that bus. At a practice before the season opener, a coach told the team one of those spots would have to go to a long snapper because "we're going to have to punt or we're going to need field goals." "I was like, welp, this is my ticket," said Hines, who was a backup tight end and defensive end...
