Syracuse football has landed a commitment from Elizabeth (NJ) High defensive back Ibn McDaniels during his official visit this weekend, he announced on social media. McDaniels is listed at 6-3, 190 pounds, can play any position in the secondary and has also played wide receiver in high school. He is expected to start at cornerback for the Orange. 

McDaniels is an under the radar recruit but when you watch his film it is hard to see why. He is a long, smooth athlete who can run and has great instincts. He looks every bit the part of a power five caliber recruit. During his senior season, McDaniels recorded 34 tackles, three interceptions including one pick six, 744 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns. He was named to the NJFCA North 2 Super 100 All-State Team and was named First Team All-Conference.

Interestingly, McDaniels was on the radar of the previous staff thanks to Director of High School Relations Dennis Thomas. When Fran Brown took over as head coach, the staff evaluated McDaniels and extended an offer. Now he the latest member of SU's 2024 class. .

McDaniels says he has been in touch with multiple members of the new staff, including head coach Fran Brown, over the last month. In the Orange's 2024 class to date, Syracuse has three other defensive backs including Marcellus Barnes, Braheem Long and TaRon Haile.

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.
