Syracuse Orange

Class of 2025 Toms River (NJ) North offensive lineman Jaelyne Matthews is considered one of the best prospects in the country. The 6-7, 295 pounder is rated a four star prospect by all of the major recruiting services and is considered a top 100 overall recruit by ESPN and On3. He has now locked in an official visit to Syracuse, he posted on social media. Matthews will visit the Orange May 31st- June 2nd.

Syracuse was one of the first schools to offer Matthews. It was not until Fran Brown was hired as head coach, however, that he started giving the Orange a serious look. Shortly after that, he declared Syracuse was in his top schools.

"The (Fran) Brown and (Elijah) Robinson effect," Matthews said. "They are going to shock the world and I'm with it."

Matthews had a previous relationship with Syracuse's new head coach and defensive coordinator prior to them being hired by the Orange.

"We are all Jersey guys," Matthews said. "We don't come from a lot but we bond."

In addition to Syracuse, Matthews holds scholarship offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and West Virginia, among others.

Matthews has also announced an official visit to Tennessee June 14th and a visit to Miami on March 23rd. He cancelled a previously scheduled official visit to Rutgers.

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.
