Kentrell Rinehart Releases Top Five, Syracuse Makes the Cut /

In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Class of 2025 Columbus (OH) Bishop Ready running back Kentrell Rinehart released his top five schools on Saturday. They were Syracuse, NC State, Minnesota, Indiana and Kentucky.

"These are the 5 programs I'll be putting my 100% focus on going forward," Rinehart said in a social media post. "My recruitment is still open to everyone but these are the 5 that have put it all out there and making sure I know how much they want me. I plan to OV (official visit) at all of these programs."

Rinehart recently took an unofficial visit to Syracuse and it went extremely well. In fact, he put the Orange in his two top afterwards.

"Didn't know what to expect," Rinehart said. "Never really heard of Syracuse until coach Brown got hired and started making big hires and landing some real good players. Then getting to campus and seeing the energy they bring and how much they actually want me to come play there left me in awe."

Rinehart is rated a three star prospect by 247Sports. The other recruiting services have not evaluated him to date. In addition to Syracuse, he holds offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Indiana, Kent State, Kentucky, Marshall, Maryland, Minnesota, NC State, Ohio, Purdue, South Florida, Toledo, Western Michigan and others.

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.
