David Clement Commits to Syracuse

Syracuse football has landed a commitment from 2023 Albany (N.Y.) Christian Brothers Academy tight end David Clement, he announced on Friday. Clement is Syracuse's second 2023 verbal pledge, joining quarterback LaNorris Sellers. Clement is listed at 6-7, 265 pounds. 

"Thank you to my family, friends, and coaches that helped me along the way," Clement said in a Twitter post. "I would like to announce my commitment to Syracuse University to further my academic and athletic career. Go Orange!!!"

Clement first jumped onto the radar earlier this month when he took an unofficial visit to get a closer look at the Orange program. During that visit, Syracuse extended an offer and has kept in frequent communication ever since. 

"Walking around all the facilities, met with some nice people who told me about what it's like being a student athlete at Syracuse," Clement said after the visit. "Then had a good talk with coach Babers where he offered me.

"Beyond grateful for them to reach out and get me on campus. Being my first offer, they definitely mean a lot to me now and glad to have them offer me." 

Clement plays both tight end and defensive end in high school, but was recruited by Syracuse to play on the offensive side of the ball. Critical in Clement's relationship were offensive coordinator Robert Anae and head coach Dino Babers.

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.
