Syracuse Orange

One of the fastest players in the 2025 recruiting class is Baltimore (MD) Mergenthaler Vocational wide receiver Justin Devaughn. Devaughn got a surprise visit from Syracuse assistant wide receivers coach Devin Redd on Tuesday, and that visit resulted in an offer. 

"I was at my cousin's basketball game to support," Devaughn said. "My coach called me into a classroom to talk to coach Redd and he offered me. He told me that I was going to be at a great school with great people and to stay focused and work on my craft. 

"I was a bit surprised because I wasn't really expecting any coach to come today. I was very happy and thanked coach Redd." 

The next step for Devaughn and Syracuse is to develop a relationship as the two sides get to know each other better. That will be followed with a visit so that the 5-10, 165 pound speedster can get a closer look at the program. 

"He just told me he wanted to get me down there," Devaughn said. "Definitely would want to see the meals they serve, library, classroom and all the athletic stuff." 

In addition to Syracuse, Devaughn holds offers from Minnesota and Nebraska. He says Penn State and Coastal Carolina are also recruiting him hard. 

Devaughn is a state champion track star in addition to being a talented football player.

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.
