A sophomore season in jeopardy for one of the rising stars in the Syracuse Orange football program.

On the latest episode of "The Orange Zone Podcast," Tommy Sladek and Samantha Croston dive into the legal battle between Syracuse University and the young man projected to lead the Orange running game come the fall (00:29-13:27). On the flip side the football team has high hopes for future recruiting classes, and their efforts caused some buzz over the weekend with at least one of their new verbal commits (13:28-15:27).

And of course we couldn't forget to give the GOAT their flowers. To close out the episode the team celebrates Otto the Orange's induction into the Mascot Hall of Fame (15:28-19:49) and give their best effort in Producer Brendon's similarly themed trivia (19:50-28:05).

The sports coverage doesn't stop here as the summer continues, so be sure to keep an eye and ear out for every new episode of "The Orange Zone Podcast".
