Three 2022 Prospects Schedule Syracuse Official Visits /

Syracuse football will have an important recruiting weekend coming up as the Orange is expected to host multiple class of 2022 prospects for official visits. We have confirmed the following players are expected to be on campus. This list will likely grow throughout the week. Each player listed holds a Syracuse offer.

Player: Kadin Bailey
Position: Linebacker
Height/Weight: 6-1, 210 lbs
School: Jefferson High School (Jefferson, GA)
Commitment Status: Uncommitted
Other Notable Offers: Kansas State, East Carolina, Tennessee

Player: Garrison Madden
Position: Linebacker
Height/Weight: 6-3, 200 lbs
School: Dutchtown High School (Hampton, GA)
Commitment Status: Uncommitted
Other Notable Offers: Air Force, Kent State, Marshall, South Florida

Player: Chris Reed
Position: Wide Receiver
Height/Weight: 6-2, 190 lbs
School: Wekiva High School (Apopka, FL)
Commitment Status: Committed to Utah
Other Notable Offers: Florida A&M, Utah

This will be the first visit to Syracuse for all three players. Each was offered in November as the Orange looks to add talented depth to its roster for the 2022 season. The Orange currently has 10 players committed in its 2022 recruiting class, only one of which is a linebacker. Syracuse has already lost two linebackers to the transfer portal in Geoff Cantin-Arku and Latarie Kinsler. Players such as Mikel Jones, Marlowe Wax and Stefon Thompson have also become veterans. Meaning Syracuse needs an influx of young talent to develop and learn from those veterans in order to be ready when their opportunity arises.

Syracuse has one wide receiver committed this cycle, but has lost a couple to the portal in Russell Thompson-Bishop and Taj Harris. A player like Reed would be a big boost to the receiver room and one of the headliners of the class.

Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events.

After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available.

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.
