Jaden Hart Commits to Syracuse Football
Syracuse football has landed a commitment from Michigan City (IN) High running back Jaden Hart, he announced on Saturday during his official visit. Hart, a 6-0, 180 pound running back chose the Orange offers from Duke, Iowa State, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue and several others. He was also receiving interest from Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan State and Iowa.
Hart had previously visited Syracuse in April for an unofficial and the Orange continued to prioritize him after that. During his initial visit, he met head coach Dino Babers and spent time with him in person for the first time.
"It was great," Hart said. "He's a very down to earth and straightforward guy. We talked about everything, really. The direction of the program, and just great conversations."
The relationship with the coaching staff, success with previous running backs and how the offensive scheme utilizes its running back proved key in Syracuse's ability to land Hart. Landing a running back with several power five offers is a big recruiting win for the Orange.
Hart is currently rated as a high three-star prospect on each of the major recruiting services. 247Sports ranks him the 60th best running back in the class. ESPN puts him 50th while On3 ranks him as the 64th best at his position.
