Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 Youngstown (Ohio) Fitch defensive back Davion Pritchard was one of several players from his school on the Syracuse campus on Saturday. Pritchard says he enjoyed his time on campus. 

"Got to see the facility and take some pictures in the jersey and helmet," Pritchard said. "My favorite part was watching the highlight/hype video and understanding their culture. Their reasonings for why they do certain things they do." 

Specifically, Pritchard enjoyed learning about 44. 

"I thought it was pretty cool what they do with the number 44," Pritchard said. "How you have to earn the right to wear the number from Jim Brown and the coaching staff. Seems like they are a physical team that plays together with a good bond." 

Director of Recruiting Gino Gigliotti gave the tour of the campus and facilities. The facilities were one of the highlights of the trip. 

"I liked it a lot," Pritchard said. "They put a lot of effort and time into it all." 

Overall, the visit left an impression on Pritchard, who is on Syracuse's radar as a prospect to monitor int he 2024 recruiting cycle. 

"Just a great place," Pritchard said. "I can see myself playing there."

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.
