Syracuse, N.Y. — Rich Belin is a dual-threat quarterback. He comes from a family of football players. He is athletic enough that, over the course of his football career, he has spent seasons at running back and wide receiver.

Still, Belin said, he knows where he wants to play at Syracuse. The subject of a position change, he said, didn’t come up over the course of his recruitment by the Orange football program. And that was a good thing.
