Syracuse Orange

Keon Johnson stars for Archbishop Hoban in Ohio and is one of the more intriguing offensive line prospects still on the board. He is listed at 6-5, 385 pounds and moves well for someone that size. He visited Syracuse over the weekend to check out the Orange's game against Florida State.

"it was nice we got to see the practice facility," Johnson said. "Then they took us to the Dome and on the field. The best part was when i was in the tunnel when the team was coming out."

Johnson says he has been in contact with Syracuse for about a month and the communication has been constant during that time. He does not hold an offer yet, but has developed a good relationship with the Orange staff.

"Not yet but I'm hoping soon," Johnson said of an offer.

During his visit, he spent time with some of the Syracuse staff. Primarily Director of High School Relations Khalil Ahmad and offensive line coach Mike Schmidt.

"Just that they are very interested in me and that we will continue to talk regularly," Johnson said. "And try to make it out to a game of mine."

Archbishop Hoban is the one seed in its region and plays in the Regional Championship Game this Friday. State championships would be after that.

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.
