A big body from New Jersey
It’s time to start preparing for the 2024 Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get to know a lot of new faces to kick off the Fran Brown Era.
We’re moving into the summer additions now, so let’s meet…..
Name: Xavier Miles
Position: Defensive Line
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 310 lbs
Hometown: Jersey City, NJ
High School: St. Peter’s Prep
2023 stats:
Played on the offensive and defensive lines. Registered 67 tackles and three sacks last season for St. Peter’s.
2024 projections:
The injury to Braylan Ingraham could open an opportunity for Miles to get some early-season snaps. If he’s able to hold up on the interior, he could find himself in the rotation at the defensive tackle spot this fall.
How’d he get here?: Chose Syracuse over offers from Rutgers, Boston College and West Virginia
What’d recruiting sites say?: Three stars all around. Rivals had him ranked 29th in New Jersey.
