Syracuse Signing Day Profile: Brady Denaburg /

In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Player: Brady Denaburg
Position: Kicker
Height/Weight: 6-0, 180 pounds
School: Merritt Island High School (FL)
Other Notable Offers: Rhode Island, Air Force, Florida (PWO)
Commitment Date: February 2, 2022
Enrolling Early: No

Commitment Quote: "After visiting Syracuse and thinking about it a lot more, it just really feels like my next home," Denaburg said. "I felt that I didn't really need the extra visit and I was just set on going to Syracuse. I think just everything they had to offer. Everything that they had were things that I wanted. That was stuff that I looked for in a school. Where you stay, the coaches, how they treat me and how the kids are there. I think everything was what I expected and it just felt like my next home."

Evaluation: Denaburg has a strong leg that easily has the ability to hit from 50-plus yards out and pushes 60. His career long is 57 and, with a some refinement on technique as well as getting stronger, he has a chance to eclipse that 60-yard mark. As a senior, he was 19-26 (73%). So working on making that powerful leg a bit more consistent will be important. The good news is that he can spend a year learning behind Andre Szmyt and working with special teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky to do just that.

In addition to being a kicker with a strong leg, Denaburg also plays quarterback for his high school football team. Not only does that show that he is a good athlete, but it gives Syracuse the potential to do some interesting things in the kicking game with the potential for fakes.

All in all, Syracuse got a highly regarded kicking prospect with a lot of desirable tools with which to work.

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.
