Syracuse Football: Visit put Orange ‘real high on my list,’ 4-star WR says

Jason Robinson from California, a four-star wide receiver in the 2024 class, says in an interview that he has high interest in Syracuse football after recently taking a visit to the Hill.

The 5-foot-11, 160-pound Robinson, in an interview with the terrific SyracuseOnSI publisher Mike McAllister, had a lot of positive things to say about the Orange, the team’s coaching staff and the ‘Cuse facilities.

McAllister previously reported that Robinson was planning to take an unofficial visit to Syracuse football on April 12. Robinson is a junior at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in Long Beach, Calif.

Several recruiting services presently rate Robinson as a four-star prospect and a top-50 wide receiver in the 2024 cycle. Per his bio on Rivals.com, Robinson has received close to 30 scholarship offers from a range of high-major programs throughout his recruiting process.

Per McAllister’s story, while on his visit to the Hill, Robinson watched the Orange practice and met with Syracuse football coaches, including head coach Dino Babers, wide receivers coach Mike Johnson and Deon Maddox, the squad’s director of player development/alumni relations.

"Regarding his sit-downs with Orange coaches, Robinson said, “The meetings went real well. Very positive. Lots of info. Was very excited I was there. They wanted me to know that Syracuse wants me there and that coach Johnson and Babers talk about me a lot. What they see me doing in the offense. Also talked about making wise decisions that will be with me for the rest of my life.”"
