Let’s see where they will be camping this summer
Now that the 2025 NFL Draft has concluded, several Syracuse Orange alums signed UDFA contracts to head into rookie mini-camps. Let’s take a look at who is going where:
Both Justin Barron and Alijah Clark signed with the Dallas Cowboys where they will be looking to impress new HC Brian Schottenheimer. Dallas signed two other safeties so it would indicate that their staff is looking for help in the defensive backfield.
Jackson Meeks signed a pretty solid deal with the Detroit Lions, which could bode well for his chances to make the squad.
Former Syracuse and Georgia WR Jackson Meeks is signing with the #Lions on a deal that includes a $20,000 signing bonus and $200,000 guaranteed, per source.

Marlowe Wax and Savion Washington will be Los Angeles Chargers along with Oronde Gadsden. Wax is the only linebacker the Chargers drafted/signed so far, so we’ll see if he can impress Jim Harbaugh enough to latch on. Washington was one of two tackles and with his size, it wouldn’t shock if he sticks to the practice squad at worst.
Cornerback Clarence Lewis spent one season in Syracuse and now he’s signed with the Tennessee Titans. The Titans continue to overhaul their roster so we’ll see if Lewis is able to fight his way onto the team.
Update:
Max Mang has signed with the Colts.

We’ll keep an eye on these alums and others over the summer as NFL teams prepare for the 25-26 season. Hopefully we’ll have more Orange represented on Sundays…and Mondays…plus Thursdays and the occasional Saturdays and Holidays too.
