Anderson Joins Tennessee Titans
5/14/2014 11:16:00 AM | Football
Ri'Shard Anderson agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans this week, becoming one of seven Orange to sign with an NFL team this spring.
Anderson, a cornerback, recorded 30 tackles including two in the backfield in 2013. He had one interception this season, snatching one of Georgia Tech's five passing attempts, and broke up a pass against Minnesota in Syracuse's Texas Bowl win. Anderson started in every game in his last two seasons at SU and played in 44 games over the course of his career.
Anderson was a member of a senior class that won three bowl games in four years, helping restore the Orange's winning tradition. SU defeated an opponent from one of the five major conferences in FBS in each of the three bowl wins, one of just nine schools to accomplish the feat.
Jay Bromley was picked in the 3rd round by the New York Giants, the first defensive tackle to be selected since Arthur Jones in 2010 and the highest drafted since Ted Gregory in 1988, who was taken 26th overall in the first round by the Denver Broncos. He will join two former teammates, Ryan Nassib and Justin Pugh, who were selected by the Giants in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Marquis Spruill was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round, the first linebacker to be selected since Doug Hogue in the 2011 NFL Draft and was the first Orange drafted by Atlanta since Quinn Ojinnaka was selected in 2006. He will be joined by fellow SU team captain Jerome Smith, who signed as a free agent with the Falcons following the Draft.
Keon Lyn (Indianapolis Colts), Jeremi Wilkes (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Macky MacPherson (Philadelphia Eagles) have also agreed to terms with NFL teams.
The 2014 Orange kick off the season on August 29 against Villanova in the Carrier Dome. Season tickets, which start at $99, and the three-game package that includes Villanova, Florida State and a third home game in the Dome of the fan's choice ($125 per package) are available now online (www.Cuse.com), by phone (888-DOMETIX), at Destiny USA kiosks and at the Carrier Dome Box Office (Gate B). In addition, discounted group tickets (20+), with prices as low as $10 each, are available for all home games by calling the Ticket Sales office (443-3212).
To celebrate the excitement for the season-opener against Villanova, Orange Head Coach Scott Shafer introduced the 'Next Fan Up' program. Shafer is purchasing a ticket for every ticket purchased so fans can bring a friend to the game. The offer includes season tickets already purchased and is available through May 31, 2014. Tickets for the 'Syracuse Section' for the 2014 New York's College Classic vs. Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium are on sale now, starting at $80, via www.NYCollegeClassic.com, phone (888-DOMETIX, Option Zero), or in person at the Carrier Dome Box Office (Gate B).
