It has been relatively quiet on the recruiting for Syracuse football in recent weeks, outside of the commitment of Ja'Meer Thomas. Here is the latest on their efforts in the 2024 class.

QUARTERBACK RECRUITING

Nothing much to report here as a new offer does not seem imminent. Syracuse is closely monitoring Jacob Zamot out of Millville High in New Jersey, but I think he more than likely ends up as a preferred walk-on target if anything. He has visited multiple times but I think Syracuse keeps its scholarship for the portal. The Orange entered the 2024 cycle looking for two quarterbacks. They have one committed but at this point it is more likely they hold the second for the portal. Syracuse has added a former four star quarterback in each of the last two offseasons and three of the last four. Do not be surprised if the Orange is active in that market again.

SYAIR TORRENCE

The local product remains a Michigan State commit, for now. However, given what is going on with the Spartans head coaching job, I do not expect him to stay there. Should he decommit, I think the Orange is in the best spot to get him back. He was a one time Syracuse commit but reopened his recruitment to take more visits and ended up flipping to Michigan State. While Michigan has offered, the one school that has stayed in constant contact despite his pledge elsewhere is Syracuse. Boston College has also been there to a lesser extent. But I think the Orange would be the team to beat should he decommit. At this point, I think a decommitment is likely.

WILLY LOVE

Nothing major here but Syracuse has remained in constant contact. I still think the Orange is the leader here, but his recruitment has been a hard one to figure out. Rutgers is still involved as well. The key for Syracuse is to get him on campus for an official visit after the season. If they do, a commitment is possible during that trip.
