Jason Bromley nearly didn't wear this uniform. He was was overlooked for the Empire Challenge until his high school coach Jim DeSantis stood up for him at the selection meeting. The other coaches relented and all Jay did was become MVP in the game, get a scholarship from Syracuse and who knows what else his future holds?

The article on Jay Bromley is why I love Syracuse football so much. Some on this board are obsessed with wins and losses and lose sight of the important work that is done with young men getting a second chance and flourishing in the family environment that is provided. Whether it is Jay Bromley or the history of sexual abuse with John Raymon, or Durell Eskridge growing up living in a car in the slums of Miami, there are things that are way more important that are accomplished in this program. In a very real sense, lives are saved and this is worth more than any victory on the field. Sure, once in a while one of these young men doesn't work out with off field behavior and receive the overly harsh criticism that some here have to offer. But who is to say if the people who are quick to criticize would not have behaved the same way? I am more proud of these young men than any success that may have on the field. They provide a face to the term "high character" kids.
