Senior defensive tackle Arthur Jones had surgery by Dr. Irving Raphael on March 3, 2009 to repair a torn left pectoralis muscle. The surgery went well. Future information regarding Arthur's recovery and activity level will be released as progress warrants. Jones sustained the injury while lifting weights on February 23.
A 2008 All-BIG EAST First Team selection, Jones ranks sixth on the Orange record list for tackles for loss (31.5) and 13th on the career list for tackles by a defensive lineman (125). A native of Endicott, N.Y., Jones recorded 60 tackles, including 13 for a loss of yards, and had a fumble recovery, as a junior in 2008. At Notre Dame, he finished with 4.0 tackles for loss, tying his career best, and a personal-best 15 tackles, in Syracuse's 24-23 victory. The effort earned Jones an ESPN College GameDay 'Helmet Sticker' and the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week award.
