As Syracuse prepares for its inaugural season in the ACC, three Orange have garnered preseason accolades. Senior running back Jerome Smith, senior defensive tackle Jay Bromley and junior linebacker Dyshawn Davis were all named to Athlon Sports Preseason All-ACC Teams. Smith was honored on the first-team offense while both Bromley and Davis were named to the third-team defense. Â
In his breakout junior season, Smith recorded 1,171 rushing yards on 264 carries for three touchdowns. With his 1,171 rushing yards, Smith is just one of 16 SU running backs to hit the 1,000-yard mark in a single season. He averaged 90.1 yards per game which ranked 43rd nationally and third in the BIG EAST. In 2012, he became one of four Orange backs to record four consecutive 100-yard rushing games. Smith was named to Phil Steele's 2013 Preseason All-ACC Second Team Offense.
Davis was also named to Phil Steele's 2013 Preseason All-ACC First Team Defense. Davis started all 13 games last season, finishing up 2012 at fifth in the BIG EAST in tackles for loss (1.08 avg/g). He currently sits at 14th on SU's career tackle for loss list with 24.5 tackles for a loss of 93 yards. In his sophomore season, Davis recorded 69 tackles, including 44 solo, 14 for a loss of 39 yards and one sack for a loss of five yards. He had his first career interception against Louisville which he returned for 28 yards. Davis recorded two fumble recoveries in 2012, one which he returned for a 52-yard touchdown against Pittsburgh.
In 2012, Bromley completed his second season as the starting nose tackle with 39 tackles, including 5.5 for a loss of 24 yards and 2.5 sacks for a loss of 16 yards. Bromley was tabbed on Phil Steele's 2013 Preseason All-ACC Fourth Team Defense. Â He played in all 13 games, including 10 starts last season. Bromley had a career-high nine tackles at Rutgers this past season and in the Pinstripe Bowl against West Virginia, he blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt.
