Greg Paulus will go home to play college football, according to ESPN.
Paulus, who tore up the New York State prep record books as a quarterback at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, will suit up for the Orange in the fall.
Paulus will need a waiver from the NCAA to transfer from Duke, but if Taylor Bennett can go from Georgia Tech to Louisiana Tech without a one-year wait, so can the former point guard.
Syracuse went 3-9 in 2008 and fired coach Greg Robinson. (Side note: Robinson, who unsuccessfully recruited Paulus to Syracuse out of high school, is Michigan's new defensive coordinator. Hence, the connection between Paulus and the previous dalliance with the Wolverines).
First-year Orange coach Doug Marrone named redshirt freshman Ryan Nassib the starter in spring practice but will apparently give Paulus a shot.
From a football standpoint, Syracuse — and Marrone's pro-style offense — makes a thousand times more sense for Paulus than Michigan, which runs the spread option. If Paulus' intended goal is to play professional football, this will, in theory, give him a better chance.

Yawn!
Please check you spelling. Not very professional to spell "professional" wrong.
Observer...that isn't a photo of Greg Paulus!!! Geez!!! It's Josh McRoberts...and the Duke hate continues...
Why can't this paper even get the photo of the correct player? Geez! The Duke bias continues. I'm sure if was a UNC player they would have it right.
Geez....and you talk about UNC fans as a "Whine and Cheese" crowd. It's a photo...who cares?
Marrone hired ex-Clemson offensive coordinator Charlie Spence; the offense will be more of a spread offense than pro-style.
"professinoal" ..?
I guess that's what you get when you lay off all of your editors - - a second-rate blog that reads like it was whipped on a Blackberry while driving home.
lofl
dookies must be reeling henderthug going pro and Paulus now going to thats just quite hilarious.
whats coach krybaby to do
i should note that the Observer using the wrong picture is even funnier.
that ain't a pic of paulus you douche bags
Nice fucking picture.
Seems like a long shot, but it would be cool to see him succeed at Cuse. Too bad Peppers doesn't have 1/10 the heart and drive of Paulus. but that's a fine example of caroina blue for ya...peppers, mccants, vince carter, etc...
Most of these posts are children of tarholes, Sportswriters. I am sure you realize that.
Paulus graduates from Duke next month with a spot on the first team All American academic team with a major in political science. No tarholes on that team.
Hope the Observer will let us know how we can see some Syracuse games. Congratulations to Paulus. Hope he can now be the general on the field! He will get his masters degree at Syracuse as he wants to coach. Be nice to see him in the NFL, but that is a stretch.
GO, DUKE!!
Paulus was a spread option quarterback in high school. So this doesn't make more sense.
