The preseason All-American intercepted 13
passes in 24 games for the Orange. He had one interception in
two games this season before being injured prior to a game
against Georgia Tech on Sept. 26.
According to The Daily Orange, Cisco tore an ACL when he
collided with teammate Ed Hendrix during pregame warmups.
Syracuse coach Dino Babers has refused to divulge the nature of
the injury but told reporters on Monday that Cisco would miss
the rest of the season.
Syracuse.com reported that Cisco underwent surgery Tuesday for
the lower-body injury he sustained last month.
Cisco didn't discuss the injury during his 91-second video
announcement on Twitter.
"This is something I've been dreaming of since I was 8 years
old, and I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity even under the
unfortunate circumstances," Cisco said in his announcement
video.
"I've given this school everything I got, and this community
gave it back tenfold. I can't wait to make ya'll proud."
Cisco was projected to get picked among the first two rounds
prior to the injury.
Cisco led the nation with seven interceptions as a freshman in
2018 and followed up with five in nine games last season. He
missed three games in 2019 due to a lower-body injury.
