why did marrone only play 3 years here?

[Millhouse]

according to wiki

born July of 1964

played 3 seasons. in 83 when he was 19 through 85 when he was 21.

I assume he sat out as a redshirt when he was 18 in 1982.

So why didn't he stay in Syracuse for the 1986 season? He didn't have a degree yet (that came in 1991). He was a 6th round pick. You don't see guys typically give up a year for 6th round money.

if i have those dates right, I'd love to know why he left

if you can lose a redshirt but still not earn a letter in 1982, then that would explain his eligibility being up

3 year starter ... played all 4 years.

Probably didn't see enough snaps in 1982 to qualify for the 4th letter.
