Syracuse football doles out a bunch of scholarship offers in various classes
By Neil Adler
Syracuse football remains quite busy these days, as the Orange has pledged more than a dozen scholarship offers just in the last week alone.
Syracuse football continues to show positive signs with its recruiting efforts, despite the novel coronavirus pandemic that has forced Orange coaches to conduct virtual visits with prospects.
The ‘Cuse has landed a handful of new commitments of late, which Inside The Loud House has documented. But Syracuse has also offered scholarships to at least 16 guys over the past week or so, according to the players’ Twitter pages, as well as a review of recruiting services like 247Sports and Rivals.com.
Let’s take a brief glance into who these offers have gone to, and we’ve organized the prospects by their class. Of course, we’ll continue to monitor the recruitment of all these players, and hopefully some of them will select the Orange!
