Former 5-star edge target Javion Hilson plans to transfer; might Syracuse pursue?

Former Syracuse football 2025 five-star priority target Javion Hilson, an elite edge during his high school days in Florida, plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens early next month, according to recruiting services. The portal will be open from January 2 to January 16.

Might the Orange staff make another run at the freshman defensive end who suited up in the 2025 season at Southeastern Conference school Missouri? That remains to be seen, but I'd love for the 'Cuse to pursue the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Hilson.

For the Tigers in 2025, he appeared in three games, preserving his redshirt.
