I actually started working on a tally of college players from New York for the 2021 season a couple of weeks ago, but lost interest in it. I compiled numbers only, no names, no positions, and I used a player's "hometown" listing on the official roster to determine if he was from NY.

Between the ACC, Big 10, and SEC, there were 70 NY kids on their rosters. Of that number, half of those 70 played for Cuse, Rutgers, or BC. I'd need to drill down by position, but there were a disproportionate number of kickers, long snappers, and punters in that list. I also have little sense if they were walk on or scholarship.

For comparison's sake, Stony Brook had something like 58 players from NY on their roster last season. They were a middling team in a strong FCS conference.

70 players representing 5 (or 6) years of recruiting, covering 3 conferences with Atlantic seaboard connections is... not much to build off of, even if Syracuse could keep them all home.
