Yes, we did just put together a recruiting update last week, but with another commitment over the weekend — Bronx defensive tackle Elijah Fuentes — the Syracuse Orange football program now has 18 players pledged for the class of 2021. That’s a pretty sizable number for SU going into fall, and it means we can start looking toward the end of this recruiting season.
First, here’s who’s already committed for this class:
- Quarterback (1): Justin Lamson
- Running back (1): Josh Hough
- Wide receiver (1) : Kendall Long
- Tight end (1): Landon Morris
While players could opt to flip elsewhere, one recruiting benefit in the socially-distant environment is that schools aren’t really doing the big official visits in-person.
