Syracuse quarterback Hunt returns to team after suspension

NEWPORT, R.I. — Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt has returned to the team and will be practicing with the Orange at training camp.

Hunt, a sophomore, was arrested in January after stealing a bottle of cologne from a Hollister store in the Carousel Mall. Head coach Doug Marrone subsequently suspended him from spring practice. Marrone said Tuesday at Big East media day that the backup quarterback has dealt with the consequences, but he still has a lot to catching up to do after he missed so much time in the spring.

“What he did was obviously wrong and there are consequences to it, and those are very difficult consequences for him to deal with,” Marrone said. “He has a lot of catching up to do it.”

The 6-foot-3, 203-pound Hunt has an impressive high-school resume, throwing for 1,289 yards as a senior at Christ the King High School in Rosedale, N.Y. He also had 14 carries for over 3,000 all-purpose yards.

Hunt did not play at all as a freshman.
