Syracuse Football: After ‘amazing’ SU visit, 4-star wide receiver has ‘Cuse in top 5

Jeff Exinor Jr. recently took an unofficial visit to Syracuse football for one of the team’s junior days, and the 2025 four-star athlete/wide receiver says that trip to Central New York went quite well.

Additionally, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Exinor said following his visit to the ‘Cuse, in an interview with SyracuseOnSI publisher Mike McAllister, that the Orange “has definitely entered my top five. That is seriously a place I can see myself going to.”

Obviously, that’s wonderful to hear. Exinor, who was re-offered a scholarship by the new Syracuse football coaching staff on December 12, 2023, according to his X page, is a standout at the McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Md.

Per MaxPreps, in the most recent 2023 season at McDonogh, Exinor hauled in 76 passes for 926 yards and 11 receiving touchdowns. He was named to the Baltimore Sun’s All-Metro first team offense for this past term.

Consensus four-star junior athlete Jeff Exinor Jr. is high on Syracuse football.

Per his X page and recruiting services, Exinor has tallied nearly 20 scholarship offers from a range of high major programs.

His full offer sheet includes Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Tennessee, Southern California, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Wisconsin, among others.

Multiple recruiting services, within the 2025 cycle, rank Exinor as a top-200 national prospect, a top-10 athlete and a top-five player in Maryland.

Currently, his highest national ranking comes via 247Sports, which places Exinor at No. 137 overall, No. 6 at athlete and No. 4 in Maryland within his class.

His visit to the Hill included taking in the Syracuse basketball home game against Miami, which the Orange won at the buzzer on a 3-point heave from sophomore wing Quadir Copeland.

In his chat with McAllister, Exinor said of his SU visit, “Man, Cuse was amazing. The experience was exciting with us going to one of the best basketball games of the season and I was able to get closer to a lot of the recruits in my class. The new coaching change is really appealing to me as every coach there has a legit track record whether it be in the NFL or college. I also felt like everything they said was genuine and felt like they didn’t sugar coat anything. They were genuine. Honestly one of the best visits I’ve been on so far.”
