Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 Camden (NJ) High cornerback Braheem Long has committed to Syracuse following an official visit that took place Monday and Tuesday. Long, a 6-0, 170 pound athlete, picked the Orange over offers from Boston College, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and several others. Long also plays wide receiver in high school, but is expected to play in the secondary for Syracuse. 

"It's a home away from home," Long said of his decision. 

Long picked up an offer from Syracuse last September when he visited for the Orange's win over Virginia. 

"The recruiting coach liked my film and my size," Long said after picking up the offer. "So after the game they offered me and it was just a very good feeling and experience."

At Camden High School, he previously played with Syracuse defensive back Alijah Clark. 

Since offering last September, Syracuse has recruited Long very hard. He also took an unofficial visit this past April. Throughout the recruiting process, he bonded with the Orange coaches and players. That all culminated with this week's official visit that ultimately led to Long ending his recruitment. 

Rivals rated Long as a three star prospect. He has not been evaluated, therefore rated, by 247Sports, ESPN or On3. Long is the 11th public commitment in Syracuse's 2024 recruiting class. He is also the second defensive back, joining Keystone State standout Clinton Robinson. Long is also the fourth player from New Jersey to publicly commit to the Orange, joining Trashon Dye, Travon Dye and Zekai Wimberly.

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.
