Class of 2023 two way lineman Jaylin Johnson plays for Dunnellon High in Florida. The 6-4, 265 pounder plays offensive and defensive line in high school. His coaches have been sending out his film to various college coaches across the country and the first offer finally came. Syracuse extended a scholarship offer on Saturday. 

"Coach Kaz (Robert Kazmier) recommended me to coach (Tony) White," Johnson said. "They said my film was great and they offered me. I was very excited and surprised." 

The first offer is always a special moment for any recruit. Johnson was not an exception to that rule. 

"It meant a lot," Johnson said. "That years of hard work and effort are starting to pay off. But I got to keep my foot on the pedal and don't slow down now." 

Johnson has not set up a visit to Syracuse yet, but he and coach White are trying to find time in June to get a closer look at the program. When he does visit, Johnson knows what he wants to see in order to determine if Syracuse is the right fit. 

"How nice their campus is," Johnson said. "(Academic) program's I'd like to take, how the environment is and the people around the campus."

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.
