On Episode 18 of Syracuse Sports, Brent Axe chats with former Syracuse Quarterback Don McPherson, the 1987 Heisman Trophy runner-up.

In a wide-ranging and engaging interview, McPherson and Axe discuss Garrett Shrader's standing among SU QB's and what he is on track to accomplish before he is done. McPherson also had some great stories from his time at Syracuse, the evolution of the quarterback position, the influence of NIL and the transfer portal, how SU football alumni relations with the school can be better and his continued work with young men in teaching what he calls "aspirational masculinity."
