In this story:

Class of 2023 Gwynn Oak (MD) Woodlawn defensive lineman Oluwademilade Omopariola has committed to Syracuse following an official visit over the weekend, he announced on Twitter. He chose the Orange over an offer from Temple and FCS schools, and is listed at 6-4, 250 pounds. Maryland also expressed interest. With his frame, he has the potential to slide inside at tackle down the road but is expected to start at defensive end. 

Omopariola was also a standout in track and field as well as wrestling. He reports a 4.6 40-time on his Twitter profile. Omopariola is the fourth high school defensive lineman to commit to Syracuse this cycle, joining Ty Gordon, Jalil Smith and Rashard Perry. The Orange has also added a transfer defensive lineman from Alabama in Braylen Ingraham. 

It has been an offseason of change for Syracuse, which has lost both of its coordinators in the last week. Robert Anae took the offensive coordinator job at NC State while Tony White left to be Nebraska’s defensive coordinator. The Orange named Jason Beck its new offensive coordinator and Rocky Long its new defensive coordinator

Meanwhile, preparations are underway for National Signing Day on Wednesday and the Pinstripe Bowl on the 29th.

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.
