Syracuse Visit Was 'Unforgettable Experience' For 2025 QB Gavin Schwab /

Class of 2025 Buffalo (NY) Canisius High quarterback Gavin Schwab was one of several Western New York prospects on campus recently for unofficial visits. Schwab, who just completed his freshman season this past fall, is one to watch in the 2025 cycle.

"It was an amazing experience," Schwab said. "The environment was the beset I've ever seen anywhere. Being able to experience the whole program with my teammates and coaches makes it even more special. It was a great day."

During the visit, Schwab got a close look at many aspects of Syracuse football.

"We got a tour of the facility, athletic center and around the whole town," Schwab said. "The video in the beginning was honestly one of the best parts, it set a great vibe for the whole day. Being able to watch that with my teammates just fired us up for this upcoming season. The photo shoot was something I've always dreamed about. Being able to do it in the orange and blue colors for the first time was a dream come true.

"Since I was little, football has always been my number one priority. It really put in perspective that hard work and dedication can take you to great places in life."

The tour of the campus and facilities was a highlight of the trip.

"The campus was, first of all, jaw dropping," Schwab said. "The Dome and practice fields were nothing but insane to walk into. Also, the number 44 and how special it is to the Syracuse family. I felt welcomed right as I walked through the first door. That just shows the brotherhood throughout the school."

During the visit, Schwab was able to speak with members of the Syracuse staff.

"One of the main messages was that grades are very important," Schwab said. "One of the first things they asked us was what our GPA was currently. They also stressed to focus on what we can control and not the stuff we can't."

Schwab is excited to be back after a memorable experience on the trip.

"It raised (my interest) through the roof," Schwab said. "It was an unforgettable experience and I will be back soon for the camp."

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.
