Elite 2024 QB Michael Van Buren 'Honored' by Syracuse Offer /

Class of 2024 Baltimore (MD) St. Francis Academy quarterback Michael Van Buren is one of the most coveted players at his position in his recruiting cycle. He already holds offers from Alabama, Arizona, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and West Virginia, among others. Syracuse threw its hat into the mix on Thursday by extending an offer to the 6-1, 180 pounder.

"My coach told me to give coach (Jason) Beck a call," Van Buren said. "He extended me the offer. His message to me was he loved my film and he thinks I would fit perfectly in their offensive scheme."

Van Buren has a plethora of options. Syracuse is hoping to convince him to come be the face of the program. The Orange's history at the position combined with quarterbacks coach Jason Beck's resume is intriguing for the talented quarterback.

"I was very honored to receive an offer from a great program," Van Buren said. "Especially after hearing what coach Beck had to say about his background and Syracuse."

Van Buren does not have a visit scheduled yet, but says hopes to schedule something soon. He has been busy this spring, taking visits to Rutgers, Penn State, Michigan, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia Tech.

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.
