Class of 2025 Metuchen (NJ) Bergen Catholic defensive lineman Delaney Fludd is one of the most intriguing prospects in the Northeast. At 6-3, 290 pounds, he already holds offers from Akron, Boston College, Connecticut, Liberty, Marshall, Syracuse and Temple. Syracuse was the most recent school to offer, extending one on August 15th. 

"It was good," Fludd said. "I got to talk to coach Nunz for a little bit. Overall excited but I'm still working. It was a good feeling. I wanted this offer for a really long time because I like a lot of players that come from Cuse." 

One of those players is someone who was a four year letterman at Syracuse, a semifinalist for the 1989 Lombardi Award and spent 14 seasons in the NFL including winning Super Bowl XXXV. That would be one Rob Burnett, who was born in New Jersey but played for Newfield High School in Long Island (NY). 

"I just liked how he played with a lot of aggression and physical strength," Fludd said. "I try to incorporate that with my game." 

The next step for Fludd and his relationship with Syracuse is to take a visit. 

"If I could I want to come up for one game during the season to see the atmosphere," Fludd said. 

There is another connection to Syracuse as well. Fludd's head coach at Bergen Catholic is Vito Campanile, the brother of Orange tight ends coach Nunzio Campanile. 

Besides those who have offered, Fludd says Penn State and West Virginia are actively recruiting him.

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.
