Syracuse football coaches have landed two verbal commitments from 2027 offensive linemen this week.
First, it was three-star Connor Long. The beefy 6-foot-8, 343-pound Long attends Old Bridge High School in Matawan, N.J. A day later, it was Marcus Small who decided to verbally pledge to the 'Cuse.
The 6-foot-7, 293-pound Small, who visited the Orange last Saturday for the team's home game against Pittsburgh on Homecoming, goes to First Coast High School in Jacksonville, Fla. By the way, both Florida and New Jersey are key recruiting states for the Syracuse football staff.
