Syracuse Orange

One of the top junior college offensive lineman in the 2023 recruiting class is Isaiah Jatta out of Snow College. Jatta originally starred for Helix High School in San Diego (CA) before heading to Snow. He holds offers from Auburn, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma State, South Carolina, Syracuse and others. Jatta verbally committed to South Carolina in June.

"The coaches had hit up my head coach and they mentioned how interested they were in me," Jatta said. "My ability to play there and impact their team. It originally started with coach Micha and coach Schmidt. I have been in touch with them ever since."

Though the relationship is still developing, the Orange coaching staff has already made an impression.

"Super genuine people," Jatta said. "They also have San Diego connections on the staff which is super good. The vision is clear across the board from multiple coaches."

While he remains committed to South Carolina, the 6-6, 310 pounder is looking to take more visits with Syracuse hoping to get one of them.

"Yes, I am giving a serious look to any school who is serious about me," Jatta said. "As of right now, I have two official visits left and will use them according to which schools are my top runners."

Jatta has already taken official visits to Eastern Michigan, Kansas and South Carolina.

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.
