Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football extended a scholarship offer to class of 2024 quarterback Jayden Bradford recently. Bradford, a 6-0 185 pound signal caller, stars for IMG Academy. In addition to the Orange, he holds offers from Appalachian State, Cincinnati, Louisville, Missouri, NC State, Penn State, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech, among others. Bradford completed 78% of his passes and threw 19 touchdowns last season, according to MaxPreps.

"Me and coach Beck and coach Harris have been in contact for a few weeks," Bradford said. "They have been doing some research on getting to know me and I've done the same for them. [Wednesday] I gave him a call and he blessed me with the offer. Excited to continue to build the relationships we've started and can't wait to get up there sometime this spring."

That means Bradford wants to visit Syracuse. Nothing has been scheduled yet, but the Orange will try to get him on campus for a spring practice to showcase how the coaches coach as well as the culture of the program.

While the relationship is still in its early stages, Bradford was pumped about the offer.

"I was fired up just for them to have faith in me and my ability," Bradford said. "Means a lot. I look forward to building the relationships I've established and can't wait to get up there sometime this spring."

Bradford is rated a four star prospect by ESPN and Rivals, and a three star prospect by 247Sports and On3.

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.
