As an incoming freshman for Syracuse, I’ve got to spend the year learning from and watching two players I think absolutely deserve regional recognition.
The first is Chris McGlynn. Chris is, to put it simply, an open initiation cut on literally any match up he’s had this year. He is by far our most dominant cutter, his throws are cash, he can get up over anybody, and he’s crazy fast. You might know him from his popular podcast on (the Ultimate Podcast), his stint playing for the New York Rumble, or his time spent on GSU, but no matter how you know Chris, you know he’s committed and passionate. He’s been a captain for three years on Syracuse for a reason, because he wants always what’s best for the team. He’s open to new ideas, he’s always in the gym, and he never misses a practice. Chris not only brings up the level of the team when he’s on the field, he’s brought the program up over the last four years.
The second is Jesse Newman. Jesse is undoubtedly an elite thrower, he can huck from a stand still, he has every break, and he’s defiantly going to beat you up the line. He’s extremely quick, and is always in the right place. Onto of that, Jesse is one of the most positive people I’ve gotten to play with, he never get frustrated or discouraged by a turn over, and is always smiling and encouraging his teammates to play harder and enjoy themselves. I’ve had the (dis)pleasure of marking him in practice all year, and still can’t keep up with him. As a leader, he listens, he takes and gives criticism, and is extremely welcoming. On the field, he’s always civil during call disputes, and never tries to take cheap advantages. Jesse is a role model in all sense’s of the word.
