In-State Edge Jalil Smith Excited For Syracuse Official Visit /

One of the top defenders in New York State in the 2023 class has scheduled an official visit to Syracuse. Jalil Smith, who stars at Lincoln High School in Brooklyn (NY), announced he will officially visit the Orange the weekend of June 17th.

"Very excited," Smith said.

Smith stands at 6-5, 230 pounds and will begin his senior season this fall. His lead recruiter is Defensive Passing Game Coordinator and Safeties Coach Nick Monroe. The two speak on a regular basis.

"Yeah we speak almost daily," Smith said. "It's (the relationship) really good. He tells me about everything."

In addition to Syracuse, Smith holds offers from Bowling Green, Rutgers and Temple. He took visits to UConn and Stony Brook this spring.

While no other official visits have been scheduled yet, Smith says Rutgers is also trying to get him on campus in June. The Scarlet Knights are looking at the weekend of the 24th as a possibility.

Smith is not the only recruit that has scheduled an official visit to Syracuse. Colorado offensive line commit Naquil Betrand, in-state linebacker target Zyian Moultrie-Goddard and Syracuse tight end commit David Clement will also officially visit the weekend of the 17th. The weekend of the 24th will see the Orange host quarterback commit LaNorris Sellers, defensive line target Antonio Camon from Florida and offensive lineman Eric King from New Jersey.

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.
