Meet Syracuse’s Class of ’12: Devante McFarlane – Mr. Do-Everything

Found February 02, 2012 on Orange Fizz: Yardbarker Blogger Network

Devante McFarlane can run the ball, rush the quarterback, and play corner – the only thing he can’t do is all three of them at once. Many saw his role in this year’s class as George Morris’s counterpart, but it turns out his abilities make him more versatile than the everyday halfback. In addition to his primary duties running the ball, McFarlane played linebacker and defensive back in high school where he hails from Dix Hills, NY.  After signing his NLI, he caught up with the Fizz, telling us, “Wherever they put me, that I can help contribute to the team, that’s good for me.” Listen to the FizzCast with Devante McFarlane Doug Marrone spoke about the importance of players  like McFarlane at his presser this afternoon: “Getting a guy like McFarlane, he’s a fantastic athlete.” The Dougie clearly believes he will pay off as an under-the-radar talent development. He’s just a 2-star recruit, but McFarlane noted that he w...
