Class of 2024 QB Jayden Rapp Impressed by History of Syracuse /

Class of 2024 Rochester (NY) Greece Athena quarterback Jayden Rapp recently spent time on the Syracuse campus getting a closer look at the Orange football program.

"It was great," Rapp said. "Really enjoyed my time there."

During the visit, the history of Syracuse stood out.

"I got to see all the facilities for the football program," Rapp said. "Weight room, fields, locker rooms, etc. We also toured the actual campus and got to see the rec center. Seeing all the history that SU has had to be one of the best parts. Just being there you can tell how historically great the program really is."

The 2024 quarterback also spent time with the Syracuse coaches.

"Coach White and coach Ahmad the most," Rapp said. "I got to watch some film with coach White and he was telling me about what it took to play football at Syracuse. How they like hardworking aggressive guys who are going to make plays for the team. Coach Ahmad was really big on following our football dreams because that's what we want. Also, not forgetting the education we would be getting because you never know what could happen."

During the trip, Rapp was impressed by Syracuse's facilities and campus.

"I was blown away with how nice they were," Rapp said. "You can tell the team takes pride in them."

Overall, the visit left an impression on the Greece Athena standout.

"It definitely raised my interest significantly," Rapp said.

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.
