Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 Macon (GA) First Presbyterian Day quarterback Jakhari Williams has committed to Syracuse following an official visit. Williams, a 6-3, 190 pound dual threat quarterback, picked the Orange over offers from Boston College, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Tech, NC State, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech, among others. 

Williams is rated highly by each of the four major recruiting services. On3 rates Williams as a four star recruit. 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals, however, have him as a high three star just outside of four star territory. On3 ranks Williams as the 179th best player overall in the 2024 cycle and 11th best at his position. ESPN ranks Williams as the 15th best dual threat quarterback in the class, while 247Sports puts Williams at 50th best quarterback. 

During his junior season, Williams completed just under 60 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards, 21 TD and 11 TD. He also ran for 1,018 yards and 14 more scores.

In November 2022, Williams committed to in-state ACC school Georgia Tech. However, he decommitted from the Yellow Jackets last month. Several other schools got involved at that point, including Syracuse. The Orange made Williams' final five, scheduled an official visit, and made a big impression during that trip. 

Williams is the second quarterback commitment for Syracuse this cycle, joining Brendan Zurbrugg.

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.
