Fatim Diggs Commits to Syracuse
Class of 2024 Camden (NJ) Eastside linebacker Fatim Diggs has committed to Syracuse following an official visit over the weekend. Fatim is the younger brother of Texas A&M transfer defensive lineman Fadil Diggs. Fatim, listed at 6-3, 220 pounds, picked the Orange over offers from Boston College, Maryland, Ole Miss, Penn State and Virginia, among others.
Diggs is rated a three star prospect by 247Sports and On3. Neither ESPN nor Rivals has evaluated him to date.
During his senior season, Diggs racked up 110 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 13 sacks. He was named to Jersey Sports Zone's 2023 Public All-Zone Defensive Team.
Syracuse was involved early in the Diggs' recruiting process, hosting him for multiple visits during the spring, summer and in prior years. However, things cooled this fall. The original offer came from Syracuse in May of 2022 under the Dino Babers staff.
With the change to Fran Brown, who has extensive ties to New Jersey including Camden, Syracuse moved to bring him on board. This trip was less about seeing the campus and the facilities given his familiarity with them. It was more about bonding with the coaches and discussing their vision for Diggs and how he fits into the program. That was enough to seal the deal.
