Naesean Howard

Howard left the Orange football program and Syracuse his freshman year, and was readmitted to the school in 2015, but not allowed to rejoin the team.

He was the first recruit of the 2014 recruiting class to commit to SU, but he was briefly suspended during fall camp for missing curfew, and left shortly after being reinstated.

The school has indefinitely suspended him.
