Class of 2024 Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco linebacker Jayden Brown has committed to Syracuse. Brown, a 6-3, 220 pound linebacker, is one of the top players at his position in the Northeast. He was on an official to Syracuse this past weekend, which sealed the deal and resulted in him ending his recruitment. Brown chose the Orange over offers from Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Purdue, Rutgers, Virginia Tech and West Virginia, among others. 

"It was the best fit for me," Brown said. "I love what coach Babers is building and the players made me feel at home." 

On his official visit, he was hosted by linebacker Mekhi Mason.

"It was great hanging out with him," Brown said. "The guys, they made me feel at home and said all positive things about Cuse and how they take care of you." 

Syracuse was one of the first schools to offer Brown back in April of 2022. The Orange was the fourth program to offer Brown, behind UConn, Maryland and Rutgers. Syracuse has been recruiting him hard ever since, and that resulted in his commitment on his official visit.

Brown is rated a three star prospect by 247Sports, On3 and Rivals. He is currently unrated by ESPN. 247Sports ranks Brown as the 106th best linebacker in the 2024 class. On3 puts Brown 123rd at his position, while Rivals has Brown as the 19th best prospect in New Jersey regardless of position.

During his junior season, Brown accumulated 47 tackles and six tackles for loss according to Max Preps.

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.
