"It's not much of looking for stuff, it's just going out there with my family," Westry said. "Looking forward to having a good time. Just being on campus."

Westry, one of the top combo guards in the 2022 class, has already taken officials to Nebraska and Auburn. Syracuse was one of the first offers for Westry, and has been recruiting him hard for well over a year. He is listed at 6-4, 190 pounds and has the skills to be a dynamic point guard at the next level. Syracuse assistant Gerry McNamara has been recruiting Westry for a long time and the two have a strong relationship.

"Coach Gerry McNamara has been a great guy," Westry said. "Lately we've been talking about the curriculum at Syracuse, what types of majors they have, things like that."

In addition to Syracuse, Nebraska and Auburn, Westry also has offers from DePaul, Florida, Georgetown, LSU, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Penn State, Pittsburgh, USC, VCU and Virginia Tech, among others.
