Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 Rochester (NY) UPrep athlete Juelz Russell is one of the most intriguing prospects in Western New York. He has blazing speed (reports a 4.49 40-time, ran a 10.83 in the 100 meter as a track star. Syracuse extended a preferred walk-on (PWO) offer Saturday. 

"So basically I went to the Syracuse 7v7, showed out, made plays and showed what I'm capable of," Russell said. "I went to the 7v7 tournament with my high school and played pretty well. Coach Lynch had said they were impressed with me to my head coach and they would be in touch once they got my transcript and stuff. Coach Lynch called me [Saturday] morning and offered me. I was very excited and happy to receive the offer." 

An offer, even as a preferred walk-on, from Syracuse meant a lot to the speedster who plays both wide receiver and defensive back in high school. He is being recruited as a wide receiver by the Orange. 

"It's the school in New York everyone grows up watching," Russell said. "So definitely very interested in them football wise and for school." 

Russell is in no rush to make a decision, but says he may visit the University of New Hampshire in the near future. UNH has been recruiting Russell for quite some time. He currently holds an offer from Mercyhurst. He also says he plans to visit during the season this fall as he did last fall.

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.
