Syracuse Prioritizing 2025 In-State DB Armani Cabrera
One of the top players in the 2025 class in New York State is Staten Island (NY) Curtis defensive back Armani Cabrera. Syracuse has been after Cabrera for a while, extending an offer in July 2021 and hosting him for a game last fall.
"Back in September, I went to the season opener against Louisville," Cabrera said. "(It was) electrifying. Just being in the crowd with the fans and then watching out for the position I play. At the time it was Duce Chestnut and he was showing what it was like playing in a huge game at the power five level."
August first marked the first day of permitted initiated direct contact from schools to class of 2025 prospects. One of the players Syracuse immediately reached out to was the 5-11, 165 pound Cabrera.
"It definitely is a great feeling," Cabrera said. "I'm grateful and appreciative for every moment of it, but at the same time I know there's others out there like me that are working. So I'm doing what I have to do so Syracuse can keep on recruiting heavy and stay in contact."
Recruiting heavy Syracuse is as Cabrera is an early priority target for the Orange. In fact, Syracuse is looking to get Cabrera back on campus this fall for another visit. Nothing has been scheduled yet, but Cabrera confirms the plan is for him to attend at least one game.
The Orange is not the only program after his services. Cabrera also holds offers from Bowling Green, Missouri, Temple and UMass. In addition to those schools, Cabrera says Maryland, West Virginia, Penn State and Wake Forest are among those recruiting him hard.
