Steve Ishmael’s last name spelled ‘Ishmeal’ on back of jersey at spring game
Steve “Ishmeal” has joined Roosevelt “Bowie” in the misspelled jerseys club at Syracuse University.
SU received some backlash for spelling Bouie’s name wrong when retiring his basketball jersey on Feb. 20, and it was just more than a month later that another gaffe occurred. Ishmael, a rising sophomore wide receiver, had his last name spelled “Ishmeal” on the back of his jersey for Saturday afternoon’s spring game, prompting a series of jokes on Twitter.

Someone is going to ask Scott Shafer about Ishmael’s jersey after this and that person is going to cease to be.

Welp, Steve Ishmael’s name is spelled wrong on his jersey. It says Ishmeal.

Ishmael did make a nice catch over cornerback Juwan Dowels down the right sideline, and the Carrier Dome PA announcer correctly pronounced his name.
