Syracuse football, lately, has a lot of positive developments transpiring as it relates to its pursuit of nationally ranked prospects at the wide-receiver position within the 2025 class.
One piece of news centers on 2025 three-star wide receiver Isaiah Mizell from Florida setting an official visit to the Orange.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pound Mizell said in a post on his X page that he will officially visit Syracuse football from May 31 to June 2.

According to recruiting services, he holds more than a dozen scholarship offers from teams such as Minnesota, Kansas State, Arizona, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, among others. He picked up an offer from the 'Cuse on January 7 of this year.

Mizell is a standout at Boone High School in Orlando, Fla. He said on X that during the 2023 season as a junior at Boone, he hauled in 48 receptions for 1,061 yards and 21 receiving touchdowns. When I wrote this article, the industry-generated 247Sports Composite placed Mizell at No. 865 nationally within his class.

Syracuse football is heavily in the mix for other top-flight wide receivers in the 2025 cycle.
As I noted a few days ago, 2025 three-star wide receiver Gabe Daniels recently disclosed a top three of the 'Cuse, N.C. State and Kansas.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Daniels, offered by the Orange on March 8 of this year, has set June official visits to both N.C. State and Kansas; I've been told he's also eyeing a possible official visit to Syracuse football in the near future. Daniels attends the Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Ga.
In late April, 2025 four-star wide receiver Carl Jenkins Jr. of St. Augustine High School in St. Augustine, Fla., named a top six of the Orange, Illinois, UCF, USF, fellow ACC squad Louisville and Mississippi State. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound Jenkins visited the 'Cuse in mid-April.
Tyler Williams, a 2025 four-star athlete/wide receiver, will take an official visit to Syracuse football during the weekend of June 14 to June 16, he disclosed via his X page last month. The 6-foot-2,190-pound Williams, out of Sumner High School in Riverview, Fla., was offered by the Orange on January 20, 2024.
Also in April, Williams unveiled a top 13 of Syracuse football, Miami, Alabama, Georgia, UCF, Missouri, Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Louisville and Texas A&M. On3, currently, ranks him at No. 211 overall, No. 27 at wide receiver and No. 26 in Florida within the 2025 class.
In a recent interview with 247Sports national analyst Tom Loy, Williams discussed several of his top contenders at this stage in his recruitment, including the 'Cuse.
Plenty of stiff competition in the race for receiver Tyler Williams.

Some official visits are set, trips he's looking forward to, and he has an idea of a timeline as well, but isn't in a hurry.

When I wrote this column on Sunday, the Orange had at least 19 verbal commitments in its 2025 cycle. These verbal pledges include a handful of prospects at wide receiver/tight end, such as three-star Darien Williams of the Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, three-star Terrell Wilfong of West Orange High School in West Orange, N.J., three-star Julian McFadden of La Salle College High School in Wyndmoor, Pa., and three-star Daunte Bacheyie of the Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse.
This Syracuse football 2025 class, at the time of this writing, was No. 9 nationwide via the industry-generated 247Sports Composite and No. 6 from Rivals.com.
