Nick Provo

Former Syracuse tight end Nick Provo was a major weapon for the Orange in seasons past. His younger brother Tyler joins the Orange in 2013.

After Ashton Broyld and Ryan Norton, Thompson might be the most likely freshman to see some playing time.

A Syracuse tight end named Provo? Seemed to work out the first time.

The main story for Syracuse fans is the possibility that Chandler Jones could hear his name called in the first round. Quite a few draftniks have put Jones in New England for some time now and the rest of the mock world seems to be catching up (which is kinda funny when you think about it. Is it based on credible fact or just a big game of follow the leader?).

The Syracuse Orange say goodbye to Nick Provo this year after the senior decimated the SU record books as a tight end. If he can live up to the hype, Southfield High School tight end Ronald Thompson might just do the same thing before he's done.

The Syracuse Orange have put together a pretty decent recruiting class so far but they still have the chance to make it something special.

Nick Provo might be the best statistical tight end in the history of Syracuse Orange football, but he won't be among the finalists when the winner of the 2011 Mackey Award, named for Syracuse legend John Mackey, is named.

Senior tight end Nick Provo, who is tied for the team lead with six touchdown receptions this season, has been named a John Mackey Award Semi-finalist. The award, which recognizes the nation's best collegiate tight end, will announce the finalists for the award on Nov. 21.

Of all the weeks for Syracuse Football to snag a four-star recruit, this has to be one of the most unlikely.

Coming off a performance in which he caught six passes for 61 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, Provo will enter Saturday’s noon Big East game at Louisville (3-4, 1-1) second on the team with 28 receptions and first in TD receptions with five.
