- Keep He's among career leaders in some categories at Syracuse per Syracuse Univ. bio. He was selected to play in the 2006 East-West Shrine Game, which is a significant honor recognizing him as an all-star, and was then named Defensive MVP of the game. Also, there does appear to have been significant news coverage of Wyche during his playing days. Google news turns up a feature story from a Jacksonville newspaper and this feature from the Daily Orange. There are also several other articles from Syracuse newspapers providing substantive commentary on Wyche, including this, this, and this. I'd err on the side of a keep on this one.
