The Post had this to say: "Sheeran was moved from wide receiver to linebacker on the second day of spring practice. He missed the beginning of last season with a broken leg. Sheeran would have been a junior in the fall. His profile has already been removed from the SU Athletics Web site."

Also joining the Minutemen is Mike Mele a 6-0 218 pd LB.

A 2006 Scout.com article on Mele joining Syracuse here. He's mentioned in this article about several players leaving the Orange.
At Syracuse, Mele had 46 UT 55 AT 101 TT 1.5 TFL.
Both players probably left Syracue because of diminished playing time under new HC Doug Marrone.
Both players should be excellent additions to the Minutemen roster. Mele should add a strong presence to a LB corps that returns only one starter. He seems to have a great motor and the defense needs that after last year.
Sheeran has size and speed. He could be in the mix for a starting spot in 2010.
Welcome to both!
