2025 DB Justin Rowe Gets Feel for Role on Syracuse Visit
Class of 2025 Ashville (NC) School defensive back Justin Rowe recently took an unofficial visit to Syracuse. In addition to the Orange, the Canadian native holds offers from Boston College, Duke, Michigan, Missouri, NC State, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and others. His recent trip to Central New York was a positive one.
“It was great,” Rowe said. “Spent most of the day there with my family. We got a tour, photoshoot and had an in depth meeting with coach Perkins the safeties coach.”
That meeting was one of the most impactful aspects of the visit.
“We talked about my experience at school in NC while living in Canada,” Rowe said. “He also introduced me to their style of defense running a 3-3-5. He told me what qualities are vital to being a good safety. He then showed some practice clips from camp of what the defense looks like live.
“I liked the look. The safeties have lots of responsibilities. We’re expected to be leaders through our actions and also verbally. We work a lot of different techniques. I can definitely see myself playing the role.”
The 6-3, 205 pound defensive back also liked what he saw on campus and in the facilities.
“The tour was great,” Rowe said. “We were showed around the facilities and I was impressed. A lot of it is under construction right now, which is a great sign that they are investing more into the program. The campus itself is really nice as well.”
Syracuse remains an option for Rowe after the visit, though he has not narrowed his focus or trimmed his list to this point.
“The visit put things in perspective for me,” Rowe said. “Not only seeing the campus, but meeting some of the coaching staff. I haven’t looked too much into what schools are at the top of my list as of right now, but I’m confident Cuse is in good standing.”
