As the first set of collegiate all-star games get underway this week, Syracuse Football will be well represented. Airon Servais represented the Orange at the College Gridiron Showcase, which is the nation's first major collegiate all-star event of the college football postseason.
The four-day event in Fort Worth, featured NFL Draft style interviews with teams, player measurements, drills and a series of scrimmages.
Defensive linemen Josh Black and Kingsley Jonathan are set to participate in the SPIRAL Tropical Bowl on Saturday. The event, which is at Camping World Stadium, the same venue the duo helped the Orange to victory in the 2018 Camping World Bowl in Orlando, features a bowl week that began on Wednesday with measurements and practices. It culminates in the game on Saturday, which will be a PPV broadcast on the Varsity Sports Network.
Servais concluded his Orange career as an honorable mention All-ACC selection, wrapping up his time at SU with a program-record 60-straight starts on the offensive line, where he played center, right tackle and left tackle in his career.
Another All-ACC selection this season, Josh Black anchored the defensive line for six years on campus, notching 48 starts and 60 games played. He concluded his career with 155 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks and a pair of fumble recoveries.
Jonathan was an accomplished student-athlete both on and off the field at 'Cuse. The winner of the 2020 Jim Tatum Award for the ACC's top student-athlete to headline a multitude of academic and service related accolades, Jonathan concluded his Orange career with 101 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 15 sacks and a trio of forced fumbles.
Additional collegiate all-star games run through February.
