Syracuse football recently extended a scholarship offer to class of 2025 defensive back Deshawn Stewart out of DePaul Catholic in New Jersey.

"Coach Camp (Nunzio Campanile) came out and saw me running one on ones against the best of the best in the state, Dez Jones and Elijah Burress," Stewart said. "After, when the team was eating breakfast, we talked a little bit and he said to me, 'we will like to offer you a scholarship.' He then told me he wants to get me up to the campus too. I really like coach Camp too being that his brother is my head coach.

"I was very surprised. I thought I was going to receive it a little bit later in the year, but no. I got it today. I really think I stood out today with my preps and that's what put the icing on the top including my great sophomore film."

Previously, the 6-2 DB says he spoke with coach Campanile approximately two or three months ago, but it just to exchange numbers and provide Syracuse with measurables. Stewart is still learning about the Orange.

"I don't really know anything yet, but I really look forward to getting to know about the education they have to offer," Steward said. "Also meeting the coaching staff, especially the defensive backs coach."

Stewart said he was supposed to visit last month but had a conflict. He is looking forward to getting on campus soon, likely this summer.

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.
