This RB would have a better chance to start at DSU.
DOVER -- Syracuse University kick return specialist Kareem Jones is considering transferring to Delaware State following a visit to DSU last weekend, his high school coach said Tuesday.
Jones, a 5-foot-11, 211-pound sophomore, is seeking a transfer because of reduced playing time at Syracuse, Lansingburgh (N.Y.) High football coach Pete Porcelli said.
Jones, who rushed for nearly 2,600 yards as a high school senior, visited DSU last weekend with his father, Will Jones, and met with Hornets coaches. The Hornets are looking to add to their corps of running backs.
"He's a great kid and very great running back," said Porcelli, who said Jones also is considering Hampton University, a rival of DSU in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Jones has two years of eligibility left.
The Hornets, 8-3 last season, are in dire need of a proven running back after losing 1,280-yard rusher Emmanuel Marc to graduation.
