Syracuse Offer Makes Impression on 2023 QB Chris Parson /

Class of 2023 Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood dual threat quarterback Chris Parson is putting together an impressive early offer list. He already holds offers from Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Oregon State, TCU, Virginia Tech and several others. The most recent school to extend an offer was Syracuse.

"I talked to Coach (Vince) Reynolds," Parson said. "It was a great conversation. I loved talking to him. We were getting to know each other on a personal level and we talked some football as well. They loved my film and they wanted to extend an offer.

"I was really excited. It meant a lot to me and my family. Huge, huge blessing that I am not taking for granted. I definitely look forward to building a relationship with this staff."

Parson has been offered by each of the power five conferences. The one from Syracuse was his second ACC offer and seventh power five offer overall. Despite the early opportunities, there was something about the Orange scholarship opportunity that stood out.

"Coach Reynolds and I really clicked once he noticed I knew a lot about the University already. I’ve done a lot of research on Syracuse, especially with me wanting to be a writer/journalist once my football career is over. Syracuse has the top journalism school in the nation so that’s right down my alley."

A prospect from Tennessee doing extensive research about Syracuse is not a common occurrence. The fact that Syracuse has the Newhouse School as a recruiting tool will help in its recruitment of the athletic quarterback as well. Parson hopes he will be able to get a look at the campus with his own eyes sometime this summer.

"I do plan on visiting," Parson said. "My family and I will go over dates and we’ll have everything sorted out soon."

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.
