Cameron Miller, a four-star athlete and one of the top prospects from New Jersey in the 2025 class, has disclosed a top five that includes Syracuse football.

The 5-foot-11, 165-pound Miller, who is rated a top-300 overall player in his cycle by several recruiting services, said via his X page that his top five consists of the Orange, Kentucky, Michigan, Rutgers and Wisconsin.

Media reports had indicated that Miller was part of a large contingent of highly rated ‘Cuse targets who took unofficial visits to the Hill last month as part of the team’s several junior days.

Miller is a standout defensive back and wide receiver at Winslow Township High School in Atco, N.J. That, by the way, is the same program for Jaylan Hornsby, a 2024 three-star wide receiver who is officially signed with the Orange.

Syracuse football remains in the running for 2025 four-star athlete Cameron Miller.

In September of 2022, Miller was initially offered a scholarship by the ‘Cuse coaching staff when Dino Babers was leading the squad.

Fran Brown, the former defensive backs coach at Georgia, is the new head coach of Syracuse football. It seems he and his assistants continue to pursue Miller, who in August of 2023 named a top eight of the Orange, Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Illinois and Rutgers.

Miller’s newer top five continues to include Syracuse football, Michigan, Rutgers and Wisconsin, while adding in Kentucky.

When I penned this story, both the industry-generated 247Sports Composite and the industry-generated On3 Industry Ranking placed him in the top 300 overall, the top 30 at cornerback and the top 10 in New Jersey.

Currently, On3 is the most bullish on Miller, ranking him at No. 165 nationwide, No. 20 at cornerback and No. 6 in New Jersey. According to recruiting services, he has amassed more than 20 scholarship offers from a range of high-major programs.

As I’ve noted on many occasions lately, Brown and his assistants have over the past two months recruited the state of New Jersey hard, along with the entire Northeast corridor. Multiple SU coaches hail from the Garden State.

On January 27, Syracuse football picked up its first verbal pledge in the 2025 cycle, when four-star edge and top-300 national prospect Sharlandiin Strange out of Cheltenham High School in Wyncote, Pa., chose the ‘Cuse over Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers and Southern California.
