Max Suter’s Syracuse legacy: elite return man, versatile defender, and a Big East record-setter
In the 2007 season, Max Suter was a game-changing Syracuse safety and return specialist, setting Syracuse, Big East, and NCAA kickoff-return records with 1,299 return yards while also contributing on defense and even taking snaps on offense. He was a first-team All-Big East selection and later earned team honors for his toughness and impact, which tells you the real separator here: field-flipping explosiveness, versatility, and a high-intensity motor. If a team wants a tone-setter who can tilt hidden yardage and make open-field plays, Suter absolutely fits the bill.
