Syracuse Football’s Director of Recruiting Kramer Cook is leaving the program, he announced on social media. Cook is leaving to take the Director of Recruiting Strategy position within the recruiting department of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football program. 

Current members of the staff such as Director of Operations Brad Wittke and Director of High School Relations Deon Maddox are likely to take on Cook’s responsibilities in the interim until a permanent hire is made.

The move does leave the recruitment department within the football program in a bit of flux with less than four months until National Signing Day. Syracuse currently has 11 members in its 2022 recruiting class. A somewhat expeditious hire would be beneficial, but those still on staff can fill Cook’s role until that point.

Cook joined the Syracuse staff in 2016 as a recruiting quality control assistant. He then served as the Assistant Director of Recruiting prior to being promoted to Director of Recruiting Operations in October 2018.

Prior to joining the Orange program, Cook was a football recruiting and technology analyst for Coastal Carolina after spending time as a recruiting and technology intern with the Chanticleers. From 2013-2014, Cook was a graduate assistant coach at Robert Morris. He worked with the defensive line and placekickers in his role.

Cook is a 2012 graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2012. He also holds two graduate degrees from Robert Morris.

Syracuse football opens its 2021 season on September 4th at the Ohio Bobcats.

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.
