NEW: An SU Football spokesperson tells me last year’s graduating class ended up with a 100-percent success rate of players either in NFL camps or having employment in their field of study by July👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
COOL: Fran Brown says SU Football has a program called "Syracuse 60," which guarantees players a job within 60 days of graduating. "It's important that I get you a job making meaningful money inside of your major," he said.

Fran Brown spoke on Alijah Clark's hustle play: "Cinco is an example of what DART is. I had coaches send me that clip and say 'I'm showing that in my team meeting today.'" "I was happy for him, but mad because I like the Eagles," he joked.
This effort by #Cowboys rookie Alijah Clark really caught my attention. Incredible. And it's one every team should show their players.

Fran Brown says Joe Filardi will go out there against Boston College. Also says freshman Rich Belin could see time. Luke Carney won’t play because Brown wants him to redshirt.

Fran Brown says he's thankful for everything he and the team went through this year🏈: "Sometimes you gotta lose to be able to move ahead. Sometimes you gotta lose to be able to go forward. For myself, that was happening throughout most of my life."
