NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Syracuse senior running back Walter Reyes (Struthers, Ohio) is on the list of 40 “players to watch” released by The Walter Camp Football Foundation for its annual Player of the Year award. Reyes is one of two BIG EAST player on the list.
Reyes, a 2004 second-team preseason Sporting News All-American, is coming off one of the most productive seasons ever by a Syracuse runner. He ran for 1,347 yards, the second-best total in SU history, and a school-record 20 touchdowns in 2003. Reyes averaged 5.3 yards per carry on 253 rushes. He was a second-team All-BIG EAST pick and was a member of the Dopke.com All-America Junior Team. He set a Carrier Dome records with five rushing touchdowns against Notre Dame and 241 rushing yards versus Central Florida.

As a sophomore, Reyes ran for 1,135 yards and 17 touchdowns.
With a full season to play, Reyes already holds the Syracuse career rushing touchdown mark with 38. He also ranks seventh all-time at SU with 2,621 career rushing yards. The senior is among the Orange’s all-time top 10 in several other categories, including carries (7th, 477), yards per carry (4th, 5.495), rushing yards per game (6th, 74.9), 100-yard rushing games (7th, 10), scoring (4th, 238) and total touchdowns (2nd, 39).
