Penn State 2026 verbal commit Alexander Haskell, a three-star defensive lineman from the Philadelphia market, has flipped to Syracuse football. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound Haskell announced his verbal pledge to the Orange via social media, and I confirmed this development with a source on Wednesday afternoon.

First and foremost, a huge congrats from 'Cuse Nation to Alexander! On Tuesday night, he said on X that he was re-opening his recruitment amid Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin being fired on October 12.

Less than a day later, and Haskell is committed to Syracuse football and its head coach, ace recruiter Fran Brown.
