Syracuse football recruiting: Four-star DE Francois Nolton commits to Orange

After a relatively light haul from early signing day, there was some expectation that the Syracuse Orange would still add to its recruiting class of 2022. That came true on Saturday evening when DE Francois Nolton Jr. committed to the Orange. The Miami native announced his decision after visiting Central New York this weekend.

Nolton is ranked four stars by ESPN. The defensive end was previously committed to Florida before decommitting in December. Nolton received interest from a number of notable Power Five programs, including Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Penn State and more.
