Syracuse Orange

Syracuse was listed among six teams to watch for Michigan transfer defensive back Keon Sabb by Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Adam Friedman in a post on X Friday. Friedman listed Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Alabama, Auburn, and Syracuse as the teams to watch in Sabb's transfer recruitment. 

Sabb entered the transfer portal on Friday after two seasons at Michigan. He appeared in four games as a true freshman in 2022, primarily on special teams, before appearing in 14 for the National Champions in 2023. That includes five starts last season at safety. In 2023, Sabb recorded 28 tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions including one pick six, and six passes defensed. He was expected to start in 2024 for the Wolverines, but a coaching change led to exploring his options. 

As a high school recruit, Sabb was a consensus four star prospect and top 100 player overall out of IMG Academy in Florida. He is originally from New Jersey and played his first two years of high school ball at Glassboro. 

Syracuse has established relationships with Sabb as defensive coordinator Elijah Robinson was his primary recruiter at Texas A&M as was head coach Fran Brown at Rutgers. Sabb was listed at 6-1, 208 pounds on the Michigan Athletics website.

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.
