Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football will host Florida transfer defensive lineman Will Norman for an official visit this weekend, he announced on social media Wednesday morning. Norman was a true freshman at Florida last season, but redshirted after playing in four games. He has four years of eligibility remaining. He recorded one tackle in those four games and is listed at 6-4, 300 pounds. Norman is a former class of 2023 consensus four star recruit who was heavily pursued by the previous Orange staff.

Rivals ranked Norman as the 91st best player in his class overall and seventh best defensive lineman as well as the second best player in New Jersey. 247Sports ranked him as the third best player in the Garden State, while ESPN included him among its top 300 prospects in his cycle. Norman signed with the Gators over offers from Arizona State, Auburn, Boston College, Cincinnati, Florida State, Kentucky, LSU, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia and West Virginia, among many others.

Syracuse has already landed one player from the transfer portal in Georgia wide receiver Jackson Meeks. The Orange has also been linked to Texas A&M defensive lineman Fadil Diggs, Georgia wide receiver Yazeed Haynes, Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord, Buffalo quarterback Cole Snyder and others.

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.
