2028 ATH Julian Corry talks Syracuse offer, upcoming visit

2028 ATH Julian Corry is one of the most intriguing prospects from the Garden State.

The Burlington (NJ) City High two-sport athlete stands 6 foot 8 and 205 pounds, and has excelled on the hardwood as well as the gridiron.

In football, he received his first offer from Syracuse in May, and will be on campus in September to watch Syracuse’s opener against New Hampshire.

“I'm very appreciative and excited to be offered by a program like Syracuse,” Corry said to The Juice Online. "They are definitely a program on the rise and I’m excited to get on campus and meet the staff in person.”

Corry talks upcoming visit

One of the coaches he’s looking forward to meeting the most is head coach Fran Brown.

Originally from Camden, NJ, Brown has long been regarded as one of the elite recruiters in New Jersey during his career, and that’s continued to date.

"I’ve heard great things about coach Brown,” Corry said. "He’s a Jersey guy and always does a great job recruiting his home state.”

Brown and his staff at Syracuse have made it a point to recruit New Jersey, and not just high-profile prospects, but they’ve also identified emerging recruits before other programs have.

"As an NJ guy, I think it’s really cool that coach Brown recruits NJ the way he does,” Corry said. "He knows firsthand how good the football is in NJ and I’m excited to prove him right.”

When he’s on campus in September, he wants to get a closer look at campus and experience what it would be like to be a student and an athlete at the university.

"I’m really looking forward to continue to build a relationship with the coaching staff as well as the players on the team,” Corry said.

Two-sport athlete

Football is not his only sport.

In basketball, he uses his natural athleticism to be an intimidating rim protector, as he was one of the top players in his conference in his sophomore season, finishing with 11 mpg, 9 mpg and 3 bpg.

"Basketball has really helped my versatility as a football player,” Corry said. "I’m a guy with a longer frame and basketball has helped me get comfortable with my footwork and I’m seeing that translate over into my pass rush moves, route running and just as an overall football player.”

Corry said he’s being recruited as an ATH at Syracuse, but currently projects as an EDGE at the collegiate level.

Said Corry: "I’m still relatively new to the position but I use my speed and length to my advantage."
