Syracuse Orange

One of the most explosive athletes in New York in the 2024 class has committed to Syracuse. Buffalo (NY) Bennett wide receiver Ja'Meer Thomas has committed to Syracuse according to a report from The Buffalo News. He was offered on Tuesday and committed just days later. While Thomas has not announced his decision publicly, sources confirmed the decision. 

"I felt it was the right time," Thomas said. 

After receiving his first power five offer from the big in-state school, Thomas said he felt both excited and relieved.

"Because I love Syracuse a lot," Thomas said. "I had a great time down there. I love the environment."

After picking up the offer, Thomas admitted that committing crossed his mind. It did not take long for that to become a reality. The 5-10, 170 pounder immediately put Syracuse on top after the offer and decided not to wait any longer. He jumped onto the radar during a seven on seven camp at SU over the summer. His explosive ability and open field elusiveness was on full display throughout camp. 

Thomas plays for the same high school that current Orange freshman defensive lineman Rashard Perry played for last year. 

"Very excited, Thomas said. "That's my brother and a great teammate." 

He reports to run a 40 in the 4.4s, and that speed is part of why he is so productive on the field. As a junior, Thomas was second on the team with 722 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns. He led the team with 37 receptions for 813 yards (22 yards per reception) and 10 more touchdowns.

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.
