Liam Padron Looking Forward to Syracuse Official Visit

In this story:
Syracuse football extended a preferred walk-on (PWO) offer to 2024 kicker Liam Padron out of Bartram Trail High School in Florida recently. Padron went 12-16 on field goals with a long of 53 during his senior season.
"I've known coach Vollono for a while since he was at Troy," Padron said. "So he reached out when he took the job at Syracuse. He thinks I could be a good addition to the special teams room. I was excited to get an offer from a power five and ACC program. For a kicker, playing in a dome is nice too."
Padron is looking to take an official visit to Syracuse the weekend of February 2nd. When he does, he knows what he will be looking to see.
"Just the overall feel for the program and meeting the rest of the coaching staff," Padron said. "Also looking forward to seeing facilities and campus."
In addition to the PWO offer from Syracuse, he also holds PWO opportunities from Appalachian State and Troy. He took official visits to both schools this past fall. Following his Syracuse visit, it will be decision making time as Padron says he hopes to sign on National Signing Day. That is slated for Wednesday, February 7th.

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.
