Evaluation: "Jeremiah Wilson is one of the best in Central Florida. A defensive back out of Kissimmee (FL) Osceola. You talk about a productive DB. First of all, we don't talk about that enough because most elite high school DBs aren't thrown to. Jeremiah moves inside, plays safety so he can be around the football a little bit more in 2020 and all he does is basically turn the football over nine times. Six interceptions, three forced fumbles. So you get kind of the balance and the variety that you bring to the table if you're Jeremiah Wilson.

"I think he's a corner, I want to make that very clear. I do think he's a corner. 5-11, 175 or so. Great hips, very instinctive, twitchy enough to truly play on the island, but he's got some safety experience. Those traits can translate to the ACC. Maybe he develops into a nickel role at the ACC level. A nickel is a starting defensive back for basically every single power five program because of the spread offense and how wide open it's become on Saturdays. You need a prospect who can affect both the passing game and the running game from the secondary. Those instincts with Jeremiah Wilson really pop on tape. He played a good level of competition in the Orlando area.

"A lot of boxes checked for, really, one of Syracuse's most recent targets. Strong evaluation and a quick turnaround with the Orange. So it shows you a little bit of the power of the ACC program when it presses, even when in a talented state like Florida."

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.
