Former Syracuse football player Naesean Howard was arrested Saturday and charged with assaulting two Orange defensive backs.
According to Syracuse.com, the 20-year-old Howard — who was dismissed from the team following the 2014 season — allegedly stabbed redshirt junior safety Chauncey Scissum and redshirt junior cornerback Corey Winfield during an off-campus incident.
