Mayes Leaving Syracuse

Grant Mayes has played some cornerback, safety and wide receiver during his time at Syracuse University, but he recently decided that it was time for him to find a different home. He informed Scout.com at 9:30 am on Wednesday morning that he has officially gotten his release.
Grant Mayes
, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound defensive back, originally from Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, N.J., has decided to leave
Syracuse
University and will be looking for a new home to get to in the spring semester. As he red-shirted his freshman year, he’ll still have plenty of eligibility left.
“I just signed out of Syracuse today,” Mayes said. “I got my release from them today and am looking for a home for the spring. I’ve already talked to
Illinois
,
Arizona
and
North Carolina
and they’re looking over everything right now to see if they want to bring me on.”
“I was recruiting by
Greg Robinson
and when Coach Doug Marrone came in I didn’t fit in the scheme of things,” Mayes explained. “I like Coach Marrone and the entire coaching staff a lot and think they’re going to do great up there. I wish them the best of things and loved the coaches up there, I just realize that I don’t fit here right now and need to move on so I can find a place I feel more at home at.”
Mayes has a ton of talent and should be a nice pick-up for someone looking to step in that’s already game ready.
