Syracuse football coaches have lined up a visit from another highly ranked prospect in the 2025 class.
According to Rivals.com national analyst Adam Friedman, consensus four-star athlete Messiah Delhomme from Virginia, a top-200 overall player in the junior cycle, will take an unofficial visit to the ‘Cuse on April 13, which is fabulous news.
Per Friedman, the 6-foot-1, 196-pound Delhomme has set a bunch of unofficial and official visits from mid-March until late June.
He plans to visit Virginia Tech, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio State, Virginia Tech again, Virginia again, Ohio State again, and Maryland again, with the first trips to these four schools being unofficial visits and then the second trips amounting to official visits.
