One other note. Four-star Antwoine Higgins Jr., an All-American linebacker in the 2027 class from Anderson High School in Cincinnati, was planning to be on the Hill this Saturday, Jan. 31. However, per a source, Higgins will no longer attend Saturday's junior day. He has Syracuse football in his top six.
