Syracuse football has landed a commitment from Grambling transfer offensive lineman Codie Hornsby. The 6-3, 315 pounder is expected to play along the interior of the offensive line at Syracuse and has two years of eligibility remaining. In addition to Syracuse, Baylor, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Georgia, Oregon, Georgia Tech, NC State, Washington and Boston College reportedly expressed interest. He is represented by Darren Wilson and Chase Moss. Wilson and Moss are the same NIL agents that represent Michael Nwokocha, the junior college defensive tackle who previously signed with the Orange.

Hornsby entered the portal at the end of February.

"First off, I would like to give all Glory to God," Hornsby said in a post on social media regarding his decision to transfer. "Without him nothing is possible. I would like to thank Grambling State University and the coaching staff for the chance to play football at the Division 1 level and the opportunity to earn a degree. After extensive communication with all who are in support of me, I have made the rigorous decision to transfer. I will be entering the transfer portal as a grad transfer with two years of eligibility left. I look forward to seeing what lies ahead in my athletic and academic future."

Hornsby posted on X (formerly Twitter) on March 6th that he had a Zoom meeting with the offensive coaching staff at Syracuse and he looked forward to building a great relationship with them. One week later, he committed to the Orange.

Syracuse has looked for portal help throughout the offseason. Hornsby is the latest result of those efforts, along with transfers Joshua Miller (Georgia) and Da'Metrius Weatherspoon (Howard).

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.
