One of the brightest stars on the Syracuse football defense has decided to play elsewhere in 2023. Chestnut had 83 tackles and four interceptions over two seasons at Syracuse and paired with Garrett Williams to form what was regarded as one of the better cornerback duos in the ACC. Official confirmation has not come on this but with Williams seemingly set to move on and declare for the NFL Draft, the Orange will be without its 2022 starting cornerbacks next season. Chestnut is the ninth Syracuse player overall to enter the portal since the end of the regular season. While a reason has not been given on social media or elsewhere as of this writing, Chestnut seemed to be bothered by the recent departure of Syracuse defensive coordinator Tony White to Neb raska based on another recent social media post. - The Post-Standard
