SAT, ACT OPTIONAL Syracuse University confirms test-optional admissions through the 2022-23 academic year

yracuse University adopted a test-optional admission policy through the 2022-23 academic year, a university spokesperson confirmed. SU did not specify whether they’ll continue this test-optional policy after this date.

The policy has been in place at SU for a year since the start of the pandemic. Members of the Class of 2025 had to navigate a college admissions process where test-optional policies were the standard. Now, with many colleges carrying over their 2020-21 admissions policies, high school seniors will also experience the redesigned admissions process.

Test-optional policies are designed to make the college admission process more fair, as some students are not able to complete the exam as a result of the

pandemic and related protocols, such as social distancing.

Students who are unable to take a standardized test or choose to not submit their score will not be at a disadvantage during the admissions process, according to an SU news release. Also, students who chose to not submit their score are still considered for merit scholarships.

“Standardized test scores have always been just one component of our holistic review process,” Maurice A. Harris, the dean of admissions, said in the release. “Now, we will place greater emphasis on other application credentials, including academic performance, the rigor of coursework and extracurricular engagement.”

When applying to colleges last fall, SU freshman Alex Jenkin said she realized that all the schools she was applying to were test optional. She received little guidance from her high school on when she should submit test scores.

She was confident in her score, so in the end she sent it to all the schools she was

Syracuse agrees to pay $11 million in services to city

By Francis Tang asst. copy editor

The city of Syracuse and Syracuse University established a new services agreement under which the university will provide financial support to community services for surrounding neighborhoods, according to a Wednesday release from Mayor Ben Walsh’s office.

The agreement, which is valid through 2026, will provide a total of $11 million in revenue to the city over five years. The city of Syracuse and SU established their first services agreement in 1994.

SU is the only nonprofit institution that provides a voluntary services payment to the city, the release reads. The university will increase its annual payment to the city from

$1 million to $2 million by 2025.

The university will maintain in-kind services — services that are not monetary — which include contributions to the Syracuse City School District, public safety, parks maintenance and other community services.

The university will also add additional in-kind services valued at roughly $465,000, but the release did

not specify what these services will be.

In addition to the services agreement, SU will also provide $500,000 to distribute to community organizations around the area in support of their programs and services. The university will also provide maintenance around a portion of Thornden Park along Ostrom Avenue.

Additional services under the agreement — which cost approximate-

ly $150,000 — include the following: • Pedestrian safety on Ostrom Avenue near Thornden Park • Assistance in the permitting process • Hiring a new code inspector for the university area • Utilize SU’s Schine Student Center and South Campus as training rotations for the city’s Police Cadets btang05@syr.edu @francis_towne

Digital stewardship aims for accessibility

ESF offers a certificate in public relations

Syracuse University Libraries’ Digital Library program expanded this summer with the creation of the new Department of Digital Stewardship.

The department focuses on the technical aspects of digital scholarship and ventures to use digital tools to make knowledge and learning more accessible on campus.

The digital stewardship program hopes to provide an organizational home for the technical support necessary to hone in on its paired area of digital scholarship, said Déirdre Joyce, department head of the program.

The departments of digital stewardship and digital scholarship function as twin pillars, Joyce said, and both fall under the Digital Library program, with digital stewardship managing the tools that undergird digital scholarship’s content curation.

So far, the department hired Suzanne Preate, a digital initiatives librarian who manages digital production and collection development, and Sarah Pohley, a

library technician for digitization who works with the technology used to create digital materials.

The department is still looking to fill the positions of digital content coordinator, digital preservation librarian and metadata strategies librarian, according to an SU News release from August.

“We really focus on sort of the outreach side of things and understanding how people are using digital tools to create different ways of knowing and learning, and not just understanding that but facilitating that.” Joyce said.

Technicians create “digital objects”: the products of the visuals, audio and descriptions used to bring a physical object to the screen. The team then compiles these digital objects to create digital collections. The department is dedicated to the management, accessibility and production of these objects.

The department uses a digital imaging lab in the basement of Bird Library, as well as an audio lab in the Belfer Audio Archive next door, in producing digitized content.

Once metadata or descriptions are added, content will be ready to be

shared online. Part of this curation means viewing digital objects as physical ones, Joyce said.

“We also preserve those digital materials so that there’s persistent access to them over time. Because the digital objects that are being created, if we don’t think of their physicality, if we don’t think of them as having actually a presence, we can take them for granted,” Joyce said.

In creating digital content, the department is not only dedicated to creating a new system of information generally available to the campus but also to ensuring its physical and educawtional accessibility for all students and faculty, including those with visual, hearing and cognitive impairments.

“With our (Audio Visual) materials, and optical character recognition on objects, we are making sure that to the extent that we can that the documents that we are creating are fully accessible for those that need screen readers and (Optical Character Recognition),” Joyce said.

Digitized materials will be hosted online by a platform called Cortex, said Scott Warren, the associate dean for research excellence.

“(The platform) is not public yet, but the infrastructure to hold digital assets is a huge, huge decision. It’s not something you choose very often — it might be a once in a decade decision,” Warren said. “After about a year-long investigation into this, we’re restarting migration and have a lot of content.”

As research and scholarship become increasingly based in the digital world, researchers and curators of collections have worked to meet a new standard for accessibility. During the pandemic, the demand for availability and comprehensibility of online resources became unavoidable, said Petrina Jackson, director of the Special Collections Research Center.

“It’s not like we’re entering into a digital age, we’re smack in it.

(With) COVID, we’re smack in that too. (Digitization) is not something niche. It is essential to people’s education, and our collection materials in the humanities are our data,” Jackson said. “Gone are the days where it’s optional. It is a legitimate and growing part of the enterprise, and we need to treat it as such.” jlseal@syr.edu

County legislature approves redistricting plan

By Nick Robertson senior staff writer

During a meeting on Tuesday, the Onondaga County Legislature approved a redistricting plan that would give power to a Republican-led panel. The vote was along party lines, with all Republicans voting in favor of the panel and all Democrats against.

Democrats from around the county said the resolution goes against the pledges all six Democrats and 9 of the 11 Republicans made in 2019 and 2020 to create a nonpartisan redistricting process. The vote started the process to create new legislative district maps for the 2023 election.

“This is the opposite of good government,” said Joe Driscoll, a

Syracuse Common Councilor and the chair of the Democratic Party’s effort to flip the county legislature. “(Republicans) are not including anybody else in the conversation, just rolling it out and saying, ‘This is how it’s going to go.’”

The redistricting plan created a six member panel that will draw new legislative district boundaries. The legislature must approve the panel’s proposal for the map to be implemented.

Starting the process now ensures that Republicans will control four of the six seats, said Dustin Czarny, a county elections commissioner, Democrat and automatic appointee to the commission.

This fall, SUNY-ESF introduced an online certificate in science and environmental communication and public relations management, the university announced in a press release.

Starting this semester, the oneyear certificate is open to graduate students at SUNY-ESF, as well as seniors looking to supplement their bachelor’s degrees, with class times scheduled to cater to both working professionals and full-time students.

“The need exists more than ever, I would say,” said Andrea Feldpausch-Parker, a professor at SUNY-ESF. “Not only are we dealing with a pandemic where these kinds of nontraditional learning environments become even more important, but the crises that we’re facing right now are just getting more acute.”

Feldpausch-Parker said she thinks the need for these kinds of programs will only continue to grow and that it’s crucial for colleges to implement teaching formats that allow working professionals to access education.

The one-year certificate comprises three courses: “Public Relations Management for Environmental Professionals,” “Public Perception and Communication of the Environment, Science and Risk,” and “Environmental Advocacy Campaigns and Conflict Resolution Application.”

This is SUNY-ESF’s second certificate offering following the 2017 launch of its certificate in environmental leadership. ESF is planning to introduce a third certificate in environmental justice and inequality pending approval from the New York State Department of Education, according to an email from Benette Whitmore, a SUNY-ESF professor who helped develop the environmental communication certificate program.

Students will have the option to combine the three certificates and a capstone course for a master’s of professional studies in leadership, justice and communication.

Maria Andriano decided to take advantage of the certificate program at the onset of the pandemic based on the recommendation of a senior member of the staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Andriano, who runs her own public relations agency in New York City, sees the online format as essential to her ability to participate in the program as she seeks to shift her agency’s focus towards environmental organizations and companies.

“It’s been a very fulfilling, exciting opportunity for me to go back to school and to learn from some of the best professors in the field,” Andriano said. “It has really expanded my horizons in terms of the various environmental issues and the work that’s being done to tackle them.”

admissions applying to except her “reach school.”

“My score was right around the average for Syracuse,” Jenkin said. “I thought it would help me rather than hurt me ... I wasn’t really stressed about that in particular.”

Right now high school seniors who are beginning to apply to colleges are debating whether or not to submit their score. Claire Moore, a high school senior from Darien, Connecticut, will not be submitting her score to all the schools she applies to.

“I took the ACT three times in the spring and summer of my junior year,” Moore said. from page 3

redistricting push that seems to be happening now is meant to get this done before the end of the year. So, if the Democrats take control of the legislature, the Republicans can saddle them with partisan maps,” Czarny said. “They seem to be acting like what we’ve seen with the national Republican Party, using redistricting as a tool to empower minority rule.”

Legislator Chris Ryan, a Democrat, proposed an alternative redistricting plan in July, but it was voted down along party lines, 6-11. The plan would’ve implemented a 17-member nonpartisan commission of citizens not associated with politicians.

The city of Syracuse passed a similar independent redistricting system in 2019. The process of redrawing Common Council maps began in January.

Democrats called the current maps — which were drawn in 2011 by a Republicanfrom page 3

“After strategizing with my college guidance counselor and teacher, I have decided to only submit my scores to select schools (where) they would be competitive.”

Moore supports the test-optional policy and believes that it creates a more fair system, and she said that wealthier students have the opportunity to receive tutoring for the exams and take it multiple times, an advantage not all students have. She does not believe her GPA and standardized test scores are comparable.

“I appreciate the test-optional policies because ... (it places) less of an emphasis on standardized testing and a greater one on holistic review,” Moore said. “(The) SAT and ACT should not be weighed equally to the years of hard work

that went into GPAs and extracurriculars.”

Emily Eckerson, a high school senior from Rye, New York, is afraid of the potential repercussions of not submitting standardized test scores.

“For some of the schools, if I wasn’t on the high end of the ACT range … I was debating whether or not to send (my score),” Eckerson said. “I didn’t want them to think I was below it, so I kind of decided just to submit everywhere.”

Eckerson has been worried that schools with test-optional admissions do not look favorably on students who chose not to submit their scores.

“Some of the college tours I went on described that (not submitting scores) would look bad,” Eckerson said. “My college counselor told me that some schools say you can be

test optional, but they look badly upon it, so I … just decided to submit them.”

Many universities across the country are moving into the direction of test optional college admission. According to The National Center for Fair and Open Testing, at least 55% of colleges in the U.S. will not require the SAT and ACT through the fall 2022 application season.

“In the future, I hope to see more schools adopt test-blind policies, meaning they do not accept any form of the SAT or ACT,” Moore said. “Companies that administer standardized testing ... profit (off) of stressed students and make higher education less accessible.”

led group — gerrymandered. Peggy Chase, a representative of Syracuse’s 9th district, said her own district was gerrymandered to favor Republicans in 2011.

“Part of my district looks like a finger into the Sedgwick (Drive) area. Now, the Sedgwick area was carved out for the person at the time because it was Republican,” Chase said. “It’s like the representatives pick who they want to represent, rather than the people picking who they want to represent them.”

Chase, who represents parts of Syracuse University’s campus, noted that Syracuse’s Northside neighborhood is split among five different legislators, including her.

“Northside is a nightmare the way it’s carved up,” Chase said. “Now, the reasonable thing would be that a person that looks like and understands Northside would represent them.

That’s how good redistricting would go, that they would be together and be represented by somebody who was among them.”

That fracturing of Northside has made it

very difficult for residents there to get proper representation and help with community issues, she said. Two of the five legislators in Northside represent mostly suburban districts and are less inclined to spend effort on that part of their constituency, Chase said.

“With the county maps, if you were to teach a class on gerrymandering, this would be a good case study,” Driscoll said. “Some of the districts look like lobsters, these weird animals made out of the district maps to ensure (Republicans) have the best shot at maintaining control.”

Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in the county by 33,000 as of September, and data from the 2020 census may have encouraged Republicans to change the maps now instead of in 2022, Czarny said. Voters who are not aligned with a party nearly outnumber Republicans in the county, as well.

“This is the suburban shift that we saw under Trump, where the suburbs that used to

be bright red have now turned purple, if not blue, as voters reject the national (Republican) Party,” Czarny said.

The redistricting panel will have six members: three Republicans, two Democrats and one independent: • Legislature Chairman David Knapp, a Republican • County elections commissioner Michele Sardo, a Republican • Lawyer Kevin Hulslander, a Republican, appointed by County Executive Ryan McMahon • County elections commissioner Dustin Czarny, a Democrat • SUNY-ESF Associate Professor Sharon Moran, a Democrat, appointed by legislature minority leader Linda Ervin • Bar owner Joseph Rainone III, an independent, appointed by legislature majority leader Brian May The group’s first meeting is Wednesday.

cating with stakeholders in stream restoration and hydrology, Whitmore said.

The ability to interact with the other students, even in the online format, is a key part of Andriano’s positive experience with the program, she said.

The skills taught in the certificate program

apply directly to careers in the field, Feldpausch-Parker said.

“Oftentimes these are kind of positions that require knowledge, not only on how to communicate with people, but about the science itself,” she said. “That’s another important component where we’re con-

stantly like, ‘What are the scientific issues and the complexities behind those issues that we’re trying to communicate about,’ because communicating complexity is a difficult task.”

Be careful when posting on Yik Yak SU must become more inclusive of veterans

Until SU protects veterans on campus, it must refrain from calling itself “the best place for veterans.” corey henry senior staff photographer

S

easons change, trends evolve and old apps come back. After the app Yik Yak’s 2017 shut down due to allegations of cyber-bullying and hate speech, the beloved free speech app has reappeared on college campuses around the nation, including Syracuse University.

With its anonymous nature and laid-back environment, it is no surprise its return has been increasingly popular among SU students.

However, the same qualities that make it appealing to students also make it incredibly dangerous.

Yik Yak functions by connecting its users with other users who are in close geographic proximity. Then, users can post up to 200 characters of text, comment on other posts and interact with posts through “upvotes” or “downvotes,” all while remaining anonymous. It all sounds very liberating in terms of saying whatever comes to mind with no immediate consequences.

But consequences are all too real for anonymous free speech, no matter how inculpable users might feel.

Students should be more careful about the type of information and opinions they post on the app. It is important to keep in mind that it is not just a student-based app and that many people in the area could possibly be on it. Furthermore, “funny” hateful speech could become destructive to targeted groups. Just because a comment is anonymous does not mean it can’t hurt someone.

Anonymity on the app serves as a protective barrier, bolstering anyone looking to share their darkest thoughts on the internet.

It can bring about hateful ideas targeted at specific groups since there are no tangible repercussions, said Anne Osborne, a professor at the Newhouse School of Public Communications.

“The concern is that Yik Yak becomes a place where people are able to spread hateful, racist, homophobic and misogynist ideas from behind the cover of anonymity. Hateful posts can create and reinforce a hateful campus culture,” Osborne said.

It does not take too long to find the toxic presence of these topics on the app. Some posts that make it on the “Hot” page usually include undertones of hateful, satirical ideas. Even if comments are sarcastic, anonymity leaves room for misinterpretation — another main concern. The spreading of fake news in the media is a prominent issue today, but with Yik Yak, the concern is that misinterpretation of information could compromise students’ safety.

Even though it is against Yik Yak’s Community Guardrails to spread personal information, there is a lack of surveillance coming from the app. Users post names, social media handles, email addresses and residential addresses on the app that anyone in a close range can see, including people unaffiliated with the university.

Many don’t understand the power Yik Yak gives its users. The idea of a public forum is to create a safe space for users to practice their freedom of speech, a value significant at a place where young people gather to grow as individuals. Students should be using this app to bring about changes they want to see on campus or even good-natured jokes everyone can

relate to, not spread toxicity.

“A public sphere is meant to be a place where people can share ideas and build community, not ridicule others,” Osborne said.

Recently, SU students organized and brought awareness to a sexual assault protest on Yik Yak, demonstrating the app could genuinely become an impactful tool to hold healthy and accurate democratic conversations.

Although it is great that Yik Yak was used for good at SU, not all posts have to be so meaningful. Part of the concept of Yik Yak is to create a casual, light-hearted sphere for opinions and jokes, just as long as they are not detrimental to anyone. Students shouldn’t feel pressured to refrain from posting funny comments to alleviate their stress or connect with other students feeling the same way.

“As a community, we should be [thinking] about what kind of culture we want at Syracuse University. If we want a culture of inclusion and kindness, then it’s up to users of Yik Yak to think about what they post and to respond when they see others engaging in problematic and damaging posts,” Osborne said.

Apps like Yik Yak broaden the influence of words. As responsible users, students should remember that no matter what they say, words hold power.

It is in SU students best interest to keep the environment of Yik Yak clean, casual and relevant because another shutdown of the app would be an unfortunate loss to young people’s freedom of expression.

he student body at Syracuse University is made up of over 1,000 student veterans and military connected students. The university greatly benefits and profits from the attendance of veterans, yet the administration doesn’t do enough to make sure veterans are accepted by the SU community.

Chancellor Kent Syverud needs to step up and protect the people who have protected this country.

Less than fifty years after opening its doors, SU quickly became a place for educating military members. The relationship between SU and veterans dates back to 1918, when SU established a Students Army Training Corps. Due to the armistice, this program was shut down after less than a year in existence, but SU created the Reserve Officer Training Corps in 1919.

By attending SU, student veterans bring leadership within the student body, life experiences, peer mentorship and money to the university. The student veteran community needs Syverud to address the university community today just as he did in his famous inauguration address in 2014, when he said SU “must once again become the best place for veterans.”

Although it is true that Syverud has led the way in the establishment and expansion of many programs, he has failed on one of the biggest fronts: inclusion.

Diversity and inclusion are essential to college campuses around the country. SU has FYS 101, a course for incoming and transfer students which focuses on discussions about discrimination and bias as well as diversity and inclusion. But this course’s syllabus omits student veterans despite the value most veterans place on diversity and inclusion.

Because of the lack of needed support from SU, being a veteran at SU can be challenging.

Liam Hines, a student at SU, wrote an article where he says, “Any such rhetoric which defends or celebrates the U.S. military is consequently a

voicing of support for U.S. imperialism, neocolonialism and mass murder. Rather than participating in the recreation of U.S. ideological hegemony, SU students must condemn this rhetoric wherever it appears.”

While Hines’ speech may be protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution, it can be deeply offensive to veterans and to the members of the military — some of whom share the SU campus with Hines — who paid the ultimate price for freedom.

On Sept. 11, 2021, an SU professor tweeted, “We have to be more honest about what 9/11 was and what it wasn’t. It was an attack on the heteropatriarchal capitalistic system that America relies upon to wrangle other countries into passivity ... It was an attack on the system many white Americans fight to protect.”

While this professor has the right to their own beliefs and their First Amendment right of freedom of speech, the university should have shown its support for its veterans by condemning their speech.

Since the university failed to address the professor’s comments properly, I’ll take the time to address what the leadership on campus failed to correct.

Veterans of the U.S. military come from around the world, and veterans represent a range of ethnicities.

While veterans respect your freedom to express protected speech, the SU community must be more sensitive to veterans. Everyone serves for different reasons, and for the professor to classify us as only “white Americans’’ is deeply offensive.

It seems that all individuals are protected at SU except student veterans. I am calling on the chancellor to make an instant change and commit to making SU a more inclusive place for veterans. It is imperative that SU develops trainings and seminars to explain the value that student veterans bring to campus.

This unwelcoming environment towards veterans needs to stop, and SU must stop calling itself “the best place for veterans” until then.

Salt City Market hosts workshop

By Anthony Bailey contributing writer

Indigenous Syracuse University students said seeing the statue of Christopher Columbus in downtown Syracuse feels insulting, especially on Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Indigenous students at SU will be on the Quad on Monday to start discussions about what the university has done and could do to improve their experiences

ordan Goodwin said that Indigenous Peoples’ Day should be addressed more by Syracuse University. The junior, a member of the Seneca Nation, said the university needs to be more active in educating the student population.

“The history of Indigenous people in general should be discussed, how diverse we are and where the university is occupied,” Goodwin said. “There should be a better dialogue within classes … where you learn a different topic on Indigenous history each week.”

The school does not do enough to promote the awareness of Indigenous events on campus, Goodwin said, and he feels that many people on campus don’t think Indigenous people are still prevalent at SU. Goodwin and other Indigenous students expressed frustration with Columbus Day and the Christopher Columbus statue downtown. Many considered the U.S. holiday disrespectful toward Indigenous people and their ancestors. Indigenous students at Syracuse shared with The Daily Orange what the holiday means to them, what it’s like being on campus and what the university must do to create a more inclusive environment.

For some Indigenous students, SU is a lot more accepting than places they lived before. Onondaga member Brandon Silvas said non-Indigenous people around where he grew up in Alabama mocked Indigenous people and made racist remarks about his family.

“Everyone back home says they’re Native American. They’d say the stereotypical topic of my great grandmother was a ‘Cherokee princess,’ but that’s just not it,” Silvas said. “We aren’t some romanticized race. People need to understand the struggles of being an Indigenous person in a colonial society.”

Many Indigenous students at SU have thanked the university for the steps it has taken to make campus life more inclusive, but some still have demands, including greater discussion of Indigenous culture and the renovation of the Native Student Program.

“I’m happy that they have listened to our concerns and are now creating a small dialogue on campus,” Goodwin said.

Since the university instituted the land acknowledgement in 2014 that the campus stands on traditional Haudenosaunee land, dialogue amongst students has grown. But the wording isn’t perfect yet. see indigenous page 9

One of Nada Odeh’s goals for her workshop “Arabic Calligraphy and Vegetal Art” is to get the Syracuse community together to learn about cultures outside of their own, including Arabic culture, Odeh said.

Odeh, a Syracuse-based artist, hopes to bridge the gap between the city of Syracuse and its Arabic community with her workshop, “Arabic Calligraphy and Vegetal Arts.”

The workshop helps participants learn about the history of Arabic calligraphy and how to create Arabic calligraphy themselves.

“There is a big Arabic community here, but we also look for people who want ... to understand my language.

I want people to understand my culture. But it’s not only my culture, it’s the culture of the thousands in Syracuse and central New York,” Odeh said.

Part of the workshop focuses on the origins of Arabic art and how it evolved from its beginnings around the seventh century A.D. Odeh — who hosted a workshop on Saturday at Salt City Market — will present the workshop again on Oct. 17 from 1-2:30 p.m. at the market.

During the workshops, Odeh presents works from contemporary Arabic artists such as eL Seed and Khaled Al-Saai in the Salt City Market’s community room. The workshop ends with a demonstration on how to create Arabic calligraphy and a chance for participants to learn how to create Arabic calligraphy for themselves.

This workshop came into fruition when Adam Sudmann, the manager of Salt City Market, asked Odeh to present her knowledge of the history of Arabic arts and teach participants how to create Arabic art. Sudmann said he sees his market as a place to not only display the food of other cultures but arts as well.

Sudmann said he hopes that events like the workshop Odeh is hosting will help to remedy the cultural separation seen in the Syracuse community. He said that with Syracuse being one of the most “infamously” segregated cities, events like this are necessary to end the ethnic and racial separation present in the community.

“The good news is that we are a really diverse community,” Sudmann said. “We just don’t have spaces to sort of cross paths. A lot of the magic is there ... if we create a space, maybe the magic of our town can draw us into this space” The workshop on Sunday will be the second one done by Odeh this month. On Saturday, Odeh put on the workshop for an eager audience.

Participants at the workshop created their own Arabic calligraphy and were excited to branch out of what they knew.

“I love learning new art techniques,” said Abigail Brunner, a participant at the workshop.

“Something different than my job, something I can do for fun. I’m interested in Arabic culture as well, so learning how art interacts with see calligraphy page 9

Lil Tjay headlines concerts at Westcott Theater Saturday

By Siron Thomas asst. digital editor

String lights on the ceiling of the Westcott Theater led toward the stage of the venue, where a DJ table, steel gates and signs reading “Bronx” and “New York” sat. When the clock hit 8:15 p.m., people poured inside the venue, with some eager fans running, hoping to get as close to the stage as they could.

Lil Tjay took the stage at Westcott Theater on Saturday night as a part of his “Destined 2 Win” tour. Before that late-night show began, the Bronx rapper had a show at 2 p.m. which featured special guest Kaash Paige.

Sham Isshamil, a student from the University at Buffalo, made the two-hour journey to Syracuse to see the show with her friends because she missed Lil Tjay’s concert in Buffalo on Friday.

“It was worth it,” she said. “We’re just excited to see him.”

Before Lil Tjay took the stage, more than 10 up-and-coming artists, including JACOSSE and Rasandra, gave their own short sets.

In a pre-show interview with The Daily Orange, JACOSSE said that he’s been rapping for four-and-a-half years, and one of his biggest songs, “BROADCAST,” has more than 18,000 streams. He said he was honored to be one of the artists to open up for Lil Tjay.

“It really honestly doesn’t even feel real,” JACOSSE said. “I got the call like three weeks ago, and now we’re here.”

In between performances and before anyone started playing, the hosts for the night, Concert Crave, played various songs throughout the evening, including “Look At Me!” by XXXTENTACION and “Back in Blood” by Pooh Shiesty. The songs energized the crowd and led to mosh pits filled with back flips and shoving.

After Rasandra left the stage, Concert Crave asked the crowd if they were ready for Lil Tjay. The DJs began to play “Headshot,” a Lil Tjay platinum-certified song featuring rappers Polo G and Fivio Foreign. After Polo G’s verse, Lil Tjay jumped onto stage and rapped the chorus of the song, which immediately led to a roar of cheers and people

frantically putting their phones in the air.

When he finished performing the song, Lil Tjay asked where the ladies in the crowd were and received high-pitched shrieks as a response. After hearing the screams, he started performing “None of Your Love.” The song was far from the only one Lil Tjay used to appeal to the women in the audience.

“We not done yet, ladies,” the rapper said before taking his shirt off and performing “Sex Sounds,” followed by “What You Wanna Do.” Lil Tjay also played his hit songs “Calling My Phone” featuring 6LACK and “Zoo York,” which features fellow New York rappers Fivio Foreign and Pop Smoke. Before continuing his set, he took time to acknowledge the death of Pop Smoke, who died in February 2020.

“R.I.P. Pop Smoke, you heard?” he said before performing the Brooklyn rapper’s hit song “Dior.” He also performed “Mood Swings,” a song he’s featured on from Pop Smoke’s first posthumous album “Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon,” which the audience loudly sang along to.

In the middle of his set, Lil Tjay brought

Rasandra out to the stage again. The two sang their new song “In Too Deep.” During the performance, the duo took several phones from people in the front row and took selfies with the crowd of more than 200.

After the song, Lil Tjay, his crew and Rasandra began throwing water bottles to the crowd. Once they passed out all the water bottles, Lil Tjay told audience members not to drink all of the water and to put the bottles in the air.

“When the beat drop I need you to let that sh*t fly,” he said.

Lil Tjay then started rapping his song “F.N,” and once the beat dropped, the crowd showered itself with the water.

To close the show out, Lil Tjay teased his currently unreleased song “Not in the Mood.” During the song, Lil Tjay wasn’t done letting it rain, pouring a gallon of water over the audience.

“Thanks to everybody that popped out. I had fun with y’all,” he said. “Hopefully I get to see you again.” siron@dailyorange.com @sironthomas

‘Béisbol’ exhibit highlights Latino culture, heritage in baseball

By Dakota Chambers asst. copy editor

Thousands of miles away from Latin America, a small building just outside of Syracuse’s Armory Square invites visitors to come inside and immerse themselves in the story of baseball’s impact on Latino culture.

Syracuse University established La Casita Cultural Center in 2011 as a physical space to preserve Latino and Hispanic culture and history as well as support the Latino residents of Syracuse.

“It’s been a great way to represent a community that is largely underrepresented across the city and on the Syracuse University campus as well,” said Tere Paniagua, executive director of cultural engagement for the Hispanic community at SU. The center’s year-round programming includes art exhibits, youth programs and a bilingual library. Among the hallmark exhibits bringing many different Spanish-speaking parts of the world to Syracuse is “Béisbol.”

The exhibit, centered around America’s national pastime, highlights baseball’s prevalence in Latino communities. La Casita is hosting “Béisbol” in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. The cultural center has also contributed artifacts to the National Museum of American History’s exhibit from page 8

indigenous Goodwin said that during winter 2020, Indigenous students helped rewrite the land acknowledgement to be more diverse in its vocabulary. The updated acknowledgement has been approved, but not yet implemented.

River Gordon, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences and Mohawk with family from Kahnawà:ke, believes more can be done to right history.

“Calling Indigenous Peoples’ Day over Columbus Day is like putting a bandaid on an open wound,” Gordon said.

One request made by Indigenous students on campus to be more inclusive toward Indigenous students was the hiring of a healer.

As a result, Diane Schenandoah began her role as SU’s first Indigenous healer, which from page 8

Milton Loayza, a professor at SUNY Oswego, also attended the workshop on Saturday. He said he was drawn to it because of his interest in learning about cultures different from his own.

“I wanted to do something relaxing on a

“¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues.”

Projects like “Béisbol” are made possible by the center’s staff and efforts from student volunteers and interns. La Casita acts as a home away from home for some of these SU student volunteers, SU alumnus Christian Andino Borrero said.

Borrero, who graduated from SU in May with a degree in policy studies, is originally from Carolina, Puerto Rico. He began volunteering at the center during his freshman year and still helps out now, even though he has a full-time job. He said he continues to donate his time to the center because it’s a place he feels comfortable and at home.

“La Casita was one of those spaces where there was this meta (feeling), like I was removing myself from Syracuse in this specific space and almost feeling like I am back home,” Borrero said.

When the Smithsonian proposed the “Béisbol” project to Paniagua, the director said she was most interested in introducing new voices to the conversation of Latinos in baseball.

“The major league stars’ stories are important, and they are incredible role models for our youth and an inspiration to us all,” Paniagua said. “But this was going beyond that into … the history of baseball within our communities, our youth, the coaches, the women’s teams. Those stories.”

She also mentioned that partnering with

the Smithsonian brought La Casita a new level of recognition and prestige as an essential part of the SU community. It also highlighted the cultural hub as a research center and an active participant in the national conversation about Latino culture and history, Paniagua said.

La Casita is one of the 35 community collaborators that have contributed to the National Museum of American History’s “¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues” exhibit in Washington, D.C. “¡Pleibol!” opened July 2 and celebrated the event with a virtual opening a week later. A traveling version of the exhibit, supported by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, will tour 15 cities through 2025.

Syracuse students and local residents can view Syracuse-specific stories of Latinos in baseball by visiting La Casita’s Béisbol archive, located within the center at 109 Otisco St. Starting in spring 2022, it will also be available to view online thanks to a grant from the Central New York Library Resources Council, Paniagua said.

The museum collected the majority of pieces on display at La Casita, such as pwhotographs and memorabilia, over five years of community collections or donations from organizations such as the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Paniagua said.

Freelance photojournalist and Newhouse

School of Public Communications alumna Marilú Lopez Fretts recalled visiting the Hall of Fame when Pedro Martinez was inducted in 2015 to record the moment for the archive.

Seeing community children whom Martinez had helped through youth sports and education programs who were now grown up and had brought their kids to the event was a full-circle moment, Fretts said. She enjoys getting to capture moments like this for “Béisbol.”

“I feel blessed to be part of this exhibit and be part of documenting the stories and the people in Syracuse and their relation to baseball and what it has meant in their lives,” she said.

Paniagua is hoping to bring a program to La Casita where the center’s participation in “¡Pleibol!” is discussed in detail. She has not been able to visit the Smithsonian exhibit in person yet but hopes to sometime later this year.

She hopes that visitors realize the power of the shared history showcased in the exhibit and the importance of the role of Latino communities across the country in shaping baseball to be what it is known as today.

“The history is really fascinating … what (Latino) communities have contributed to this national pastime, (which) is something that defines American culture in such a strong way,” Paniagua said. “Our community plays such a major role in shaping that.”

is a considerable step in helping Indigenous students, Goodwin said.

“It makes me happy and respected knowing that the university actually cares about Indigenous people. They’re making us feel more comfortable, especially for some who come off the reservation for the first time,” Silvas said.

Silvas added how important it is that every student who needs it is able to receive mental health treatment and that Indigenous students finally have a place to go.

While Indigenous students at SU continue to create change on campus, they haven’t lost focus on a critical debate happening in the greater Syracuse area: whether to remove the Christopher Columbus statue.

Gordon said having the Columbus statue standing downtown is “like putting a middle finger in our face.”

“You wouldn’t put a statue of Hitler

in public, so why continue to celebrate Columbus?” Gordon said.

She elaborated on how the statue symbolizes a constant reminder of the systemic racism seen throughout the U.S. People who committed racist acts are still idolized through statues like the one downtown despite the genocide, famine and destruction Columbus incited.

Within recent years, the statue in Columbus Circle has created controversy between Indigenous people and Italian Americans. Last year, Mayor Ben Walsh addressed the decision to relocate the statue despite tension between community members and local activists.

“I believe not only the university but the city of Syracuse should continue to climb the ladder of reconciliation and put their feet in our shoes for a day,” Goodwin said.

On Monday, the Indigenous students at Syracuse University will be on the Quad in the Orange Grove to bring attention to many Indigenous concerns that burden them in their daily lives. Starting Monday at noon until 2 p.m., Indigenous students encourage everyone at SU to take a moment and reflect on Indigenous issues and lives.

Many Indigenous students created posters ahead of the federal holiday that focus on key issues. Silvas explained that posters are a way to bring up topics that haven’t reached major media outlets and educate students who wish to learn more about Indigenous issues.

“When we are on the Quad, this allows students to come eye to eye and have an understanding of what we go through every day, to walk a mile in our shoes and see the differences we endure each day,” Silvas said.

(Saturday) and explore something, something different,” Loayza said. “Anything that has engaged people in the arts is important, especially if it’s cross-cultural, intercultural or exploring, and meeting new people. All of this is really, really positive.”

Loayza said he became interested in Arabic art after visiting southern Spain and seeing the historical mosques of Cordoba and Granada. Going to this workshop allowed

him to contextualize the art he saw in these buildings, he said.

Although learning how to create some Arabic calligraphy gives participants a new skill to learn about, Odeh said she understands they will not become masters overnight, especially if they don’t know the language.

Writing in Arabic calligraphy is not easy and not knowing what you’re writing only adds to the difficulty, Odeh said. She hopes, however,

that participants will get more out of the workshop than just a new skill.

“I want to focus more on visual arts and Islamic arts and how we can create patterns and motifs out of it,” Odeh said. “Maybe we can build something together that lets this culture have something unique here in central New York. So, hopefully, things will be nicer, will be better.”

chestnut their high school teams with over 10,000 reps from one offseason.

“Now multiply that by three and you end up with Duce Chestnut,” Hammond said.

Chesnut’s “growing up moment” came during the first 7-on-7 tournament of his sophomore year, when he was lined up against 5-star tight end and future LSU commit Arik Gilbert.

Chestnut, who was 5-foot-10 at the time, covered against the 6-foot-5 Gilbert. But the tight end extended in the back of the endzone, snagged the pass and dropped his toes for the score. Chestnut was noticeably upset, Hammond said, because he was in the right position.

It was a valuable learning experience, Hammond said. For Chestnut, that marked the first time an opponent was so athletic that no defensive back could’ve made that play. from page 12

wake forest and Tucker’s legs. The defense didn’t know who would get the ball, Tucker explained, and the opposing team’s offense tried to key on one player but couldn’t (both ran for over 150 yards).

After the game, when asked if Syracuse can solely ride on Shrader and Tucker through its remaining schedule of Atlantic Coast Conference games, Tucker said, “until they tell us not to, we’ll keep doing what we’re doing.”

“If those guys don’t want the ball, we won’t give it to them. We’ll give it to somebody else, but it seems like that thing’s not very heavy and it seems like they enjoy carrying it,” Babers said.

Earlier in the year, before Shrader emerged as the playmaker SU now knows he can be, the balance was inconsistent. Syracuse rushed the ball twice as many times as it threw against Ohio, and then had a near-50/50 balance the following week against Rutgers. SU rushed the ball three times more than it threw against Liberty. And it never eclipsed 400 yards of offense, not counting UAlbany.

Last Saturday against the Seminoles, Babers said the Orange were improving. SU was “closer to what it needs to be,” he explained, but he wanted to see Shrader and the offense take a couple more shots in the throwing game. In the second half, SU largely relied on the readoption from its duo of Shrader and Tucker — the same strategy that it leaned on this week against Wake Forest.

“You saw in the second half how the game looked different, maybe a little bit different than it’s looked in a while, and I think we need to continue to grow on that,” Babers said after the Florida State loss.

Shrader completed five passes of more than 20 yards after having just one such pass prior to the Wake Forest game. He unloaded an accurate pass to a wide-open Anthony Queeley for a touchdown and aired another out to Courtney Jackson for a 24-yard completion.

“We’re moving the ball, we had 500 total yards. That’s good, so as long as it’s working, we’re moving the ball, scoring points,” Jackson said of the balance.

Jackson said after the game when the run game gets going, the defense has to respect that, which opens up opportunities for wide receivers. Many of Syracuse’s successful completions — like the Queeley touchdown — came on playaction calls, where Shrader faked the handoff to Tucker first.

The fakes go the other way, too. Shrader faked a jet sweep to Jackson and kept it up the gut for a gain of nine in the first quarter. Babers said those designed jet sweeps force the defense to guard the full width of the field, which helps open up from page 12

another ranked ACC opponent. Despite a 0-0 scoreboard at halftime, the Orange collapsed in the second half, losing 5-0.

Syracuse had the same issue last year.

Through games last season against teams like Boston College and Pittsburgh, the Orange would start games strong, only to fall in the second half. Syracuse showed a change at the beginning of this season and has already surpassed 2020’s program worst 1-7 record. But after losing key starters such as midfielder Telly Vunipola due to injuries, the problem showed up again on Sept. 23 against Louisville when Syracuse lost in the 90th minute, and again against Virginia, a few weeks and four shutouts later.

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

But playing one-on-one with highly-rated recruits from all over the country shaped Chestnut into arguably the best 7s player on his team by his junior year, Hammond said. Quarterbacks have to hit tight windows and pockets, but Chestnut learned to “bait” them for interceptions.

In one tournament in Delaware, a receiver was wide-open, to the point where Hammond said he couldn’t even see Chestnut on the highlight tape. Then the defensive back flew into the frame, intercepted the ball and clicked his heels together in celebration, just like he later did against Ohio in his SU debut.

After each interception, Chestnut shouts out “ballgame,” the nickname he’s had since he was little because “a lot of special things happen” once the ball is in his hands, Savage explained. At SU, he still shouts that after big plays.

But playing 7s — and making those highlight plays — meant the 11-on-11 game was “way, way slower” for him because he was used to a faster

speed, Hammond said.

“Just slowing down the game, being able to read coverages and being able to know where you’re at and seeing the plays in full speed is just a little different on the field,” Chestnut said.

Initially, it was nerve-wracking to be on an “island,” covering a receiver one-on-one. Chestnut said he was nervous about ending up on YouTube for the wrong reasons. Poor coverage was always exposed, and he remembers being frequently “picked on” as the young guy on NLG III during his sophomore year. But 7s — and all those repetitions — built his confidence. Savage put him on the island to lock up the other team’s best receiver in 11-on-11s. At SU, he occasionally does the same thing.

Babers said he initially saw Chestnut as a physical player who made interceptions in the Orange’s preseason scrimmages but also one who also lacked experience. He has the tools to be very good, Babers said, but he’s still grow-

ing. The head coach expressed disapproval of Chestnut’s decision to run back his interception instead of taking a touchback against Ohio, which Savage chocked up to Chestnut always “going for the home run, or the jugular.”

Sometimes Chestnut will get beat, and sometimes he won’t, Babers explained, but “all of a sudden we’re going to have a really good corner that people can’t throw at.”

Savage describes Chestnut’s rise as analogous to Clark Kent and Superman. He’s two different people on and off the football field, and he hasn’t let the hype get to his head, those close to him said. That’s been apparent from his play.

“He’s Duce Chestnut when he’s walking around Syracuse,” Savage said. “But once he puts on that football helmet and stuff like that, now it’s Ballgame Chestnut.”

gaps inside for receivers. On numerous occasions, Shrader rolled out of the pocket and looked for an open receiver, but took off running when he couldn’t find one.

“I want to throw the ball every play naturally as a quarterback,” Shrader said after the game.

“We have to get better in the pass game — there’s a lot of more opportunities for pass yards.”

Syracuse would’ve had a realistic shot at converting the chance had it kept its offense on the field.

burned over the top on Wake Forest’s opening possession for a 42-yard gain by Jaquarii Roberson and was beaten again by a double-move on a 46-yard pass to Perry at the start of the second quarter.

Simmons atoned for his errors with an interception later in the quarter, though it came more as a result of a poor quarterbacking decision than an impressive defensive play or read. The middle of the field was particularly vulnerable for the Orange throughout the day. Later, in the third quarter when Syracuse was leading by one point, Garrett Williams — a very consistent and reliable corner — misread a coverage and was beaten on the deep route

by Perry. The wide receiver deceived Williams on the route and then juked him out after catching the ball to score the 69-yard touchdown. Williams played well for the rest of the afternoon, but in a close game, that big play shifted the momentum.

Blame the defense, not Babers, for the 3rd-and-23 fiasco: Babers’ decision to accept a holding penalty and take a 3rdand-23 instead of a 4th-and-13 has become controversial. The Demon Deacons used a 25-yard completion to move the sticks, and they went on to score a touchdown.

The argument some Orange fans have made: Why allow seven when you could’ve taken three?

But that’s in hindsight. Babers explained that his decision to accept the penalty was because he watched Wake Forest’s kicker make from as far as 58 yards during pregame warmups. Nick Sciba has never converted from more than 50 yards during a game, but Babers said he was sure “this guy wasn’t going to miss.” So, he elected to send his defense out to get a stop. Considering the secondary that SU has, and the faith that Babers has shown in it, fans should be more disappointed in the defense for conceding a 25-yard completion in the middle of the field when they just needed to guard the sticks.

The game was won when…

Eventually, in overtime, Shrader and Tucker ran out of juice. SU’s offense moved 10 yards upfield on its possession via a four-yard rush from Shrader and an eight-yard one from Tucker to move the chains, but Shrader took a costly sack on 3rd-and-8 that forced SU to send out its kicker. When Wake Forest got the ball, it took two plays — a three-yard rush up the gut and a 22-yard strike to the left corner of the endzone — to score a touchdown.

A.T. Perry made an adjustment on the ball that quarterback Sam Hartman unleashed, extending his arms forward as he fell backward to secure the catch and land in bounds. The coverage from Duce Chestnut was solid, but the catch that Perry made was better. Babers said his view was blocked and he couldn’t see the gamewinning play in real-time, but he assumed the ball hit the ground.

Game ball: Garrett Shrader… and Sean Tucker, of course

The read-option duo has become the bread and butter of this Syracuse offense. Shrader’s 178 rushing yards and a touchdown, paired with his two passing touchdowns and 160 yards, all but solidified that he’s deserving of the starting job for the rest of this season. He became the third Syracuse quarterback since 1979 — alongside Eric Dungey and Bill Hurley — to notch back-toback 100-yard rushing games. He’d reached that mark by the end of the first half, too. Babers was reluctant to make comparisons to Dungey, but he said Shrader has been playing really well.

Tucker’s fourth straight 100-yard rushing game tied the second-longest streak in program history. He also slipped out of the backfield and created the game-tying touchdown that sent the game into overtime. Anyone else would have been a surprise, but for Tucker, it was normal.

Three final points

Syracuse averaged 6.1 yards per carry against Wake Forest, one reason why fans were frustrated with Babers’ decision to send out Szmyt midway through the fourth quarter to attempt a 45-yard field goal — which he missed — instead of going for it on fourth and short.

Szmyt doesn’t have the same consistency he had during his Lou Groza awardwinning freshman season, though he did break SU’s all-time record and notch his first game-winner this year. But the kicker didn’t seem to have the leg for that moment, hooking the effort wide-left, and it all seemed to be in vain. Fans can only speculate about what could’ve been, as

One costly penalty: Syracuse was only penalized three times for 30 yards against No. 19 Wake Forest, a drastic improvement from the program-record 16 penalties it recorded against UAlbany three weeks ago. But the Orange were lucky not to pay for a costly holding penalty during the second quarter.

SU had just scored, stretching its lead to double-digits and opened the defensive series by putting immediate pressure on Hartman by flushing him out of the pocket. Linebacker Marlowe Wax stripped the quarterback and Terry Lockett fell on the loose ball, but a penalty in the secondary for holding negated the turnover. The series ended soon after because Hartman threw an ill-advised deep ball into triple coverage that was picked off, and SU’s defense closed out the series with a takeaway after all. But the hold could’ve been far more detrimental.

“They caught us for a hold on one of our DBs, which would’ve been an enormous play in the game, and we didn’t get that play, so it’s the price of poker if you’re going to do the things we do in terms of pressuring blitzes and the guys in the back end have to play man-to-man,” Babers said.

Jason Simmons — and the secondary’s — errors: Free safety Ben Labrosse used to sit atop the depth chart, but since his departure from the program one game into the season, Jason Simmons has taken over that spot. Saturday, Simmons was

“They’re ... doing everything they can,” Adams said. “But when you’re playing against the best women in collegiate soccer with depleted rosters, they’re going to get tired.”

Facing up against a Cavaliers offense containing All-American Lia Godfrey, Syracuse’s defense let up seven shots on goal within the first half, but goalie Lysianne Proulx made seven saves. Syracuse tested the Cavaliers’ goal first as Kate Murphy kicked a right-footed shot into the arms of UVA goalkeeper Laurel Ivory. A minute later, Virginia’s Alexa Spaanstra approached Syracuse’s box on its right side and rifled off a shot at the left corner of the goal.

But Proulx caught the ball. Still, it would be just the first of Spaanstra’s six total attempts throughout the game. Although UVA continually pressed throughout the first half, Syracuse

gained opportunities to advance through the midfield, a place where Adams said her team was able to advance upfield. But when it came to finishing in the final third, Syracuse could only produce two shots on goal. Adams said that a lack of experience and players switching into positions led to the offensive struggles.

Syracuse would go on to attempt zero shots on goal in the second half. On the left side of the field, Kylen Grant tripped up Virginia’s Samar Guidry and a whistle was blown for a free-kick.

Godfrey lined the ball up, eyed Haley Hopkins hanging in the right of Syracuse’s box and punted the ball. Hopkins jumped above Syracuse defenders and nailed her attempt into the left corner. UVA would go on to score four more.

On the fifth goal, Lacey McCormack aimed toward the left corner of the net, finding the back

Quote of the night: Dino Babers

Syracuse was trying to win the game on a two-point conversion at the end of regulation.

Instead, Babers could only shake his head in frustration and accept a delay of game penalty since the Orange had burned all three of their timeouts. SU was forced to send on Andre Szmyt for the extra point.

“There wasn’t a sense of urgency of us going out on the football field,” Babers said. “There (were) certain cats that were taking their time and we needed to speed that thing up, and it was disappointing. I didn’t want it to go to overtime.”

Next up: Clemson

With one less day to prepare, the Orange will now get ready to host an unranked Clemson team that’s coming off its bye week. The Tigers’ 107-week streak in the AP Top 25 poll came to an end last weekend when Clemson’s 19-13 win over Boston College didn’t impress voters enough. So for the first time, an unranked Clemson team will play Syracuse. The Tigers will still be the team with more raw talent, but SU proved that it really does have a football team — as Babers emphasized postgame — that’s much improved from last year. @Roshan_f16 rferna04@syr.edu

of it. Cavaliers players began streaming back to the centerline for Syracuse kickoff to finish the game.

When the buzzer sounded 24 minutes later, Adams went from her chair on the sidelines to the bench, sat herself down at the right end and stared at the field as her players formed a stretch line. Her team is playing out of position. Adams said her team has a max of 15 to 16 players “on a good day,” while other ACC teams can play 20-plus. Her team’s entire attacking unit, the one she was “so excited” to use, struggled, too, she said. Adams stood up and retreated back to the locker room with her players.

“It was the first time I felt my team was mentally and emotionally beat up,” Adams said. @chrisscargs cjscarglato@gmail.com

SU finds balance with run and pass

By Roshan Fernandez senior staff writer

DUCE CHESTNUT had eight tackles and an interception in his debut game against Ohio. Now, he is the team leader in interceptions.

Duce Chestnut gained the reps — and confidence — that he needed to be a true freshman starter by playing 7-on-7s

By Roshan Fernandez senior staff writer

T

rue freshman Duce Chestnut wasn’t nervous during his collegiate debut against Ohio on Sept. 4, his mother, Leslie Brown, said. But he was nervous when he saw his mom standing on the side, behind a crowd of reporters, while he was giving his first postgame press conference at SU. Brown was listening, making sure the newcomer didn’t say anything he shouldn’t. She described it as just being “more of a mom.”

For just under four minutes, Chestnut fielded questions about his team-high eight-tackle performance, his fourth-quarter interception and what head coach Dino Babers later described as the first time in 35 years he’d ever heard of a player getting the game ball after their debut. Chestnut dedicated his performance to a hometown friend who died earlier that week, and he started to walk away from the podium when he finished.

As he left, Brown shouted from the back of the crowd. “Good job, son!” she yelled, and Chestnut and the group laughed.

Chestnut’s rise to fame at Syracuse began that Saturday in Ohio — he said his phone blew up more than when he announced his commitment to SU. His ascension continued through the Orange’s first six games, where he leads the team in interceptions (two) and has the fifth-most tackles (27). Chestnut has started every game for a Syracuse secondary that sent three players to the NFL last season, and he was the third true freshman to start at defensive back in an SU season-opener in over 35 years.

“Hopefully he stays around a lot longer than the last three (Andre Cisco, Ifeatu Melifonwu and Trill Williams),” Babers said on Sept. 27. “But when (he’s) ready to go, you have an opportunity to get drafted in the top three rounds … I’ll be the first one to tell him.”

Still, Chestnut hasn’t been perfect. Babers said that the cornerback has felt some “growing pains.” His holding penalty in the secondary against Wake Forest negated what would’ve been a Marlowe Wax strip sack and SU recovery in the second quarter. Chestnut was also beaten on the game-winning touchdown throw in overtime by an impressive catch from the Demon Deacons wide receiver.

But games like his debut at Ohio and plays like his fourth-quarter interception against Florida State where he jumped in front of a screen pass are the reason the Camden, New Jersey, native has become a household name on Syracuse’s defense. Yet Chestnut’s role as a starter for the Orange was “years in the making,” said Marcus Hammond, his 7-on-7 coach at Next Level Greats.

An elementary-school-aged Chestnut started playing 7-on-7

football when he went with his older brother to NLG practices.

His brother, who’s six years older, was doing defensive back training drills while Chestnut was on the other side of the field as a quarterback at the time. They did core work with medicine balls, sprints with resistance bands and power sleds and footwork exercises, too. He did the same drills, including exercises for speed development, conditioning and explosivity, and although he couldn’t keep up with the pace of the older players, Chestnut never struggled, Hammond said.

At the time, the program was in its early years and Chestnut was the youngest player there. But even now that NLG is well-known and has hundreds of players, Hammond said it’s not normal to have someone that young in the program.

“You don’t see 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-year olds finishing our workouts because they’re physically exhausting — our program is geared to get high school kids ready for college,” Hammond said. “The bulk of the players are 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th graders and college players.”

It was clear Chestnut was talented even at that age, Brown said.

And because he was exposed to NLG at an early age, he was “so far ahead of everybody,” Hammond said.

Chestnut earned his place on NLG III — the program’s best team — by his sophomore year. He’d made his biggest jump during the offseason between his freshman and sophomore year, when Chestnut worked with NLG alums including Sean Chandler, a defensive back on the Carolina Panthers, and Brad Hawkins, a fifthyear starter at Michigan. “(Chandler and Hawkins) said, ‘This guy is the next one up,’” said Dwayne Savage, Chestnut’s coach at Camden (New Jersey) High School. “They saw how he was able to do a lot of drills and hang with them and basically compete.”

NLG’s program had just begun to reach national prominence before Chestnut’s leap from freshman to sophomore year, so that meant increased travel to national tournaments, which exposed Chestnut to better teams and players a lot quicker, “expediting his learning curve,” Hammond said.

“By doing that week-in and week out, you get acclimated to the speed of elite players,” Hammond said.

7-on-7 is played at a quicker pace compared to traditional football since it’s played with a 40-yard field and it is one-hand touch instead of tackle. Rushing plays are nonexistent and the five widereceiver lineup means defensive backs get more targets in one tournament than in an entire high school season, Hammond explained.

Defensive backs backpedal against a receiver 220 times in a four-hour practice, Hammond estimated, which means about 3,000 reps in 10-15 practices spanning from January to June. Add in 500 backpedals, times 15 tournaments, and players return to see chestnut page 10

After Syracuse’s loss to Rutgers, quarterback Tommy DeVito said the offense wasn’t as balanced as it should’ve been. The rushing game fell flat, and that didn’t allow SU to use play-action to open up the passing game.

“When you run the ball, they start stacking the box and that’s when you throw the ball well. We didn’t do good at either of those things,” DeVito said.

Four games later and with Garrett Shrader as quarterback instead, Syracuse put up its biggest offensive game against then-No. 19 Wake Forest. The Orange have spent the four weeks prior to the Florida State game improving that balance, and in the game against FSU, they showed significant strides. After the Wake Forest game, despite an overtime loss, running back Sean Tucker described the variety of run and pass play-calls as “finally there.”

Syracuse still has an extremely run-heavy offense. SU has turned to the read-option featuring Tucker’s ground-and-pound style mixed with the elusiveness and speed of Shrader.

The Orange threw the ball 27 times, the second-most times all season, and ran it a season-high 58 times against the Demon Deacons. Head coach Babers said except for a few missed deep balls, he was satisfied with the offense and its balance.

For SU, a run-heavy offense is the perfect balance. It’s tailored to its biggest strengths — Shrader’s see wake

SU drops 7th straight match in shutout

By Christopher Scarglato senior staff writer

Natalie Weidenbach sighed and shook her head in frustration before another turnover near the centerline. For the past 40 minutes of the second half, Virginia had dismantled Syracuse’s defense — including Weidenbach — to the point where the Cavaliers racked up five goals in 12 minutes to form a 5-0 lead. In the first half, though, Syracuse held Virginia scoreless.

Playing well during the first half and then dropping the game has been an issue throughout the Orange’s seven-game losing streak.

Syracuse held both No. 4 Duke and No. 1 Florida State to one goal going into the second half before giving up more scores. But on Sunday, Syracuse (4-8-1, 0-6-0 Atlantic Coast) stayed in the game against No. 2 Virginia (12-1-1, 5-0-1 Atlantic Coast),
