Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Syracuse fans and fans across the country.
In the last few days we learned that Justus Ross-Simmons was interested in returing to play his 5th season, followed by news that the Syracuse Orange were interested in bringing him back, and now yesterday we learned he’ll be suiting up for today’s practice.
Syracuse WR Justus Ross-Simmons has been cleared to return to the Orange and will join the team for practice on Tuesday. https://t.co/4Xfx4iRjtf

Ross-Simmons’ return was likely made a bit more important with the loss of Terrell Wilfong for two months due to a broken collarbone. With Calvin Russell also out and both Umari Hatcher and Cole Weaver missing time in practice, size on the outside is at a premium.
So with the news of JRS’ return, this week we want to know if you think the leading receiver (in terms of yards) will be JRS (312 yards in 2025), will it be Umari Hatcher (273 yards in 2024), will it be new tight end Noah Meyers (357 yards last season at Western Kentucky) or will it be one of the other receivers on the roster? If you go with other, then let us know which player you’re picking in the comments.
