Alabama Transfer DL Isaiah Hastings Commits to Syracuse

The Orange has landed a talented defensive lineman from the transfer portal.

Syracuse football has landed a commitment from Alabama transfer defensive lineman Isaiah Hastings. Hastings was previously committed to Missouri, but reopened his recruitment after the Tigers lost its defensive coordinator and defensive line coach to LSU. He was on campus earlier this month for an official visit.. The 6-4, 290 pounder has three years of eligibility remaining and entered the portal in early December.  

During his two years with the Crimson Tide, Hastings only appeared in one game. He redshirted in 2022 after appearing in only one game and did not play at all in 2023. 

As a high school player, Hastings played for Clearwater Academy International in Florida. He is originally from Toronto, Canada, so Syracuse is much closer to home. 

Hastings signed with the Crimson Tide as a four star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class. He was a consensus four star recruit by all four major recruiting services. Hastings was ranked as high as 53rd overall in his cycle by On3. 247Sports ranked him 139th overall while Rivals slotted him 248th. As a defensive lineman, On3 ranked him 7th best in the class while 247Sports put him 19th, Rivals 15th and ESPN 35th. 

In the state of Florida, Hastings was considered the 10th best prospect by On3, 19th best by 247Sports, 34th best by Rivals and 61st best by ESPN.
