In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse defensive lineman Caleb Okechukwu had a very strong 2022 season. He finished with 47 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks. Highlights of his season can be viewed in the video above. 

Despite his productivity, Okechukwu was snubbed for an All ACC selection this past season. He was not even named an Honorable Mention, which seems quite peculiar. Either way, Okechukwu was a stable, steady force along Syracuse's defensive line. He led the team in sacks and forced fumbles and was second on the team in tackles for loss. 

Okechukwu signed with Syracuse as part of its 2018 recruiting class. He was a low three star caliber recruit according to most services despite holding offers from Arkansas, Arizona, Tennessee and Texas. He starred for St John's High School in Washington D.C. 

He took official visits to four schools leading up to National Signing Day before inking with the Orange. Okechukwu's official visits were to UMass, Texas, Syracuse and Arkansas. 

Okechukwu appeared in only one game during his first two years at Syracuse before becoming a key part of the defensive end rotation in 2020. He appeared in 23 games over those two seasons as a key rotational reserve. Okechukwu earned a starting spot for the 2022 campaign and started all 13 games.

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.
