St. Ed's is always a program stacked with talent, and Paulouzzi is one of their top prospects. Syracuse is getting an explosive edge rusher, an off-ball linebacker in a 3-4 who knows how to rush the passer, be very disruptive, dip hi shoulder, turn the corner and wreck havoc on opposing quarterbacks.
