The Football Gods Shine Upon Us

DeWayne Long will be suiting up for the Colgate Raiders this fall! After speculating that DeWayne might return, to actually find out he was granted a sixth-year of eligibility really makes this fan happy. This is fantastic news for Colgate football. Wide receiver was one of the two huge question marks for the offense this fall and returning a first-team all Patriot League selection to the mix gives us a deep threat that may have been missing.

DeWayne should be joining Kenny Parker as the other starting wideout. Long, Parker and LaMonica (along with perhaps transfer J.J. Bennett) suddenly seem like a pretty potent offense to attack behind that line we have returning. If Mike Saraceno pans out the way that some have said he will, take heart ye Colgate faithful; it has the potential to be a great season.
