In this story:

Syracuse football has its second commitment of the 2025 cycle as North Rockland (NY) High defensive back Javon Lawrence pledged Orange Friday night. Lawrence is a 6-2, 170 pound defensive back who is blazing fast, running a 10.7 in the 100-meters. That roughly translates to a 4.46 in the 40-yard dash. He was offered by Syracuse earlier this month and committed less than two weeks later. It was Lawrence's first division one offer. 

He joins four star edge Sharlandin Strange as commitments in Syracuse's 2025 recruiting class to date. 

Lawrence plays corner and safety at North Rockland High. With his length and speed has the potential to play anywhere in the secondary at the collegiate level. This is the definition of an under the radar prospect as he did not even have profiles on any of the major recruiting services websites prior to his decision. This can happen with New York State recruits, however, as much of the state is overlooked and not heavily recruited. 

The Orange will have a busy few months with a plethora of recruits visiting for spring practice, camps over the summer and official visits in the summer as well. These will have a significant impact on Syracuse's 2025 recruiting efforts.

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.
