Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers will have Luke Erickson, a 2017 running back, intending to walk-on this fall.

Class of 2017 running back Luke Erickson is coming to Syracuse as a preferred walk-on, he announced via Twitter Tuesday evening.

The 6-foot, 200-pound back played prep football at Greene (New York) High School. Erickson is not rated by any of the major recruiting services and held no Division I offers.



Erickson runs a 4.7 second 40-yard dash, has a 34 inch vertical and a max back squat of 500 pounds, per his Hudl profile.

The central New York prospect is the 28th addition to the 2017 recruiting class. Track the whole class here.
