Toward the beginning of this year, Syracuse football coaches extended a scholarship offer to 2026 four-star quarterback Luke Fahey, who hails from California and put forth a terrific junior season for his nationally ranked high school program.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Fahey, who disclosed his 'Cuse offer via his X page on January 1, is a standout at Mission Viejo High School in Mission Viejo, Calif. In the 2024 campaign, Mission Viejo finished 10-1 overall and was ranked No. 16 around the country, according to MaxPreps.
