Top Storylines for NLI Day

Despite a disappointing 3-9 season, Syracuse is set to sign a historically great class. The Orange has never ranked higher than 44th in the country prior to 2025, but if all holds according to plan, Syracuse will ink the No. 27 overall class, which is unprecedented territory for the Orange in modern day recruiting.

So far, there have been few defections from the class. On Tuesday, 2026 offensive lineman Steven Pickard announced that he was flipping his commitment to Florida State. Aside from that, the Orange appear to have been able to hold off Virginia Tech for Tyrell Grant Jr. and Florida State for Kameron Wilson.

Syracuse is also anticipating the signing of five-star wide receiver Calvin Russell, just the third five-star to commit to SU in program history. Meanwhile, they also were able to flip Alexander Haskell from Penn State and Tedarius Hughes from Florida State.

Recruiting Surprises, Flips & Misses

The Orange did lose several commitments from ATHs EShawn Sutton, Zikhere Leaks, and D'Antae Sheffey, but those were mostly driven by the coaching staff's desire to free up more roster space for incoming transfers.

There's also the chance of a surprise commitment. That was certainly the case on Monday, when 25-year-old rapper Nau’jour Grainger, who goes by the stage name Toosii, announced his commitment to the Orange.
