Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football has landed a commitment from Alabama transfer defensive lineman Isaiah Hastings. Hastings was previously committed to Missouri, but reopened his recruitment after the Tigers lost its defensive coordinator and defensive line coach to LSU. He was on campus earlier this month for an official visit.. The 6-4, 290 pounder has three years of eligibility remaining and entered the portal in early December.

During his two years with the Crimson Tide, Hastings only appeared in one game. He redshirted in 2022 after appearing in only one game and did not play at all in 2023.

As a high school player, Hastings played for Clearwater Academy International in Florida. He is originally from Toronto, Canada, so Syracuse is much closer to home.

Hastings signed with the Crimson Tide as a four star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class. He was a consensus four star recruit by all four major recruiting services. Hastings was ranked as high as 53rd overall in his cycle by On3. 247Sports ranked him 139th overall while Rivals slotted him 248th. As a defensive lineman, On3 ranked him 7th best in the class while 247Sports put him 19th, Rivals 15th and ESPN 35th.

In the state of Florida, Hastings was considered the 10th best prospect by On3, 19th best by 247Sports, 34th best by Rivals and 61st best by ESPN.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
