So happy for Donte Strickland....

over 100 yards in his last regular season game for Syracuse! Maybe not the flashiest RB but works just as hard blocking as he does in running with the ball. Thanks!

We will miss him next year. I know the depth chart is going to be pretty stacked but to have a veteran like him that can start or spell someone and provide quality minutes has been fantastic this year. He’s also a good blocker and understands the offense maybe the best of any back on the team.

If I was Dino and the school had some kind of choice where to bowl, I’d let dontae decide. Kids was homeless when he chose Syracuse. Always played hard. But admittedly, he’s an all time favorite for me.

Yep when you consider what a team player he is and his off field story, can't help but love the guy.

What’s amazing is we purposefully leave him alone on DEs and he does the job.

I posted the same thing! Best performance by him in Orange. He was awesome!

He is by far and away the best blocking back we have, maybe one of the best blocking RB's we have ever had.

He HATED having to come out after he got us down to the goal line. Felt bad for him. I’d give him the ball to get the TD.

Here, here - Cheers to Donte Strickland!
Never got the media love he deserved. Always worked hard, ran hard and I don’t think he EVER fumbled in his Cuse career.

I am so happy for him. I remember saying that if he could get his ypc up to 4.0 this season that SU would have a good year. He ended the year with a 5.0 ypc and Cuse goes bowling at 9-3.
