Recruitment Recap: Jaden Hart committed to Syracuse in June during what was a busy month for the previous staff. While he loved that staff and that was part of why he committed, he remained fully committed through the coaching change despite holding several power five offers. When Hart connected with Fran Brown, he still felt like he had a spot in the Orange's 2024 class. That was solidified during an official visit, and he reaffirmed his commitment. 

Evaluation: Hart is a well rounded running back who has both power and speed. He runs with balance, has excellent vision between the tackles and in the open field, and can be tough to bring down. Hart is more slippery than elusive, but has a knack for getting to the second level. He also has good hands out of the backfield, which will serve him well at the next level. What we do not see a lot of in his high school film is blitz pickup. That will be something he has to master to see the field early.
