Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football hosted several players this past weekend for the game against Western Michigan. Included in that group was class of 2026 Millville (NJ) High edge Jayden Jones. Jones was also offered on the trip. The Orange joined schools like Michigan, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers and West Virginia that have already extended a scholarship opportunity. 

"We where hanging in the locker room and coach Dennis Thomas just came up to me and offered me. I was definitely very happy."

While it may be early in his recruiting process, Jones says he is interested in Syracuse and wants to learn more about the program. 

"I'm interested in going back up there and getting to know the coaches more," Jones said. "I definitely felt welcome and I loved the atmosphere." 

The atmosphere was the JMA Wireless Dome game day environment when Syracuse blew out Western Michigan 48-7. The 6-2, 210 pounder was impressed by the noise level and fan support. 

"It was just crazy loud especially because of the dome," Jones said. "Just great to be around over all." 

While Jones does not currently have anything scheduled, he wants to come back sometime this season for another game. Whether or not he is able to will depend on his schedule with high school football and other visits.

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.
