Buffalo Transfer Devin Grant Commits to Syracuse
One of the best safeties in the transfer portal has committed to Syracuse. Buffalo transfer Devin Grant announced his decision to continue his college football career with the Orange on social media. Grant was a First Team All-Mac performer last season. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
In his first year as a full time starter in 2023, Grant recorded 79 tackles, picked off five passes, forced one fumble and recovered two fumbles. His defensive coordinator, however, left his post to take the linebackers coach job at Syracuse. Grant will follow coach Rob Wright to the Orange.
As a high school prospect, Grant was rated a four star recruit by 247Sports and the second best player in New York in the 2022 class. He signed with the Bulls out of Holy Cross High School in Flushing (NY) over offers from Albany, Army, Fordham and James Madison.
As a transfers, Grant reported offers from Vanderbilt, Michigan State and Oklahoma State. Several other power five schools were expressing interest as well.
The 6-4, 190 pound safety is just the latest example of a huge offseason of change for Syracuse football under new head coach Fran Brown. He has created a lot of buzz around the Orange and helped land some highly regarded recruits and transfers.
