Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football has landed a commitment from 2023 Greenwood (SC) High athlete Josiah Jeffery, who signed with the Orange on National Signing Day. Jeffery is expected to play linebacker for Syracuse. He picked SU over offers from Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State, among several others. Jeffery took an official visit to Central New York this past weekend.

During his senior season, Jeffery had 76 tackles, nine tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one defensive touchdown. Jeffery is listed at 6-2, 210 pounds. 

Jeffery is the third linebacker in Syracuse's 2023 class, joining Zyian Moultrie Goddard and recent junior college pledge Lonnie Rice. He is the sixth defensive player overall in the class, not including incoming transfers. The Orange has three defensive additions from the portal. 

It has been an offseason of change for Syracuse, which has lost both of its coordinators in the last week. Robert Anae took the offensive coordinator job at NC State while Tony White left to be Nebraska’s defensive coordinator. The Orange named Jason Beck its new offensive coordinator and Rocky Long its new defensive coordinator.

Meanwhile, the Orange continues to prepare for the Pinstripe Bowl against Minnesota. That game takes place on December 29th in Yankee Stadium.

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.
