Syracuse a 'Top School' for Jermaine Minnis After Visit
Class of 2025 Hyattsville (MD) DeMatcha Catholic linebacker Jermaine Minnis visited Syracuse over the weekend for Junior Day. The 6-1, 210 pounder who holds multiple power five offers enjoyed his time on campus.
"It was great," Minnis said. "Great vibes. Build some great relationships with those guys. Heck of a coaching staff. I definitely look forward to going back."
Conversations with those coaches were among the highlights of the visit.
"Realizations, personal things, just regular stuff," Minnis said. "They all wanted to know things deeper than football. Such as how I'm doing, how's my family, where I'm from, and etc. Just genuine conversations, and that's what makes Syracuse stand out. They pride themselves on being real with their people and recruits.
"I was able to connect with them from those realizations. I'm a person who likes to keep it real with others. Anybody can tell you what you want to hear, but very few will tell you what you need to hear. The truth."
Minnis also attended the basketball game, which saw Syracuse come out on top of a close, hard fought contest in the Dome.
"The basketball game was great," Minnis said. "Great game especially with the Cuse winning with a game winning buzzer beater. Great atmosphere. Never seen anything like it at a basketball game. The Dome was crazy loud. The supporters are genuine. They're dedicated to the Cuse and I love it. I was turnt (when Copeland hit the game winner). Hype with the fans and the coaches. Great and exciting win."
Minnis added that the visit showed him what he needed to see about Syracuse.
"The visit gave me clarity," Minnis said. "They are who they say they are. The turnaround for the program under coach Fran's leadership will be (significant). Cuse stands as a top school in my recruitment. Can't wait to finish the recruiting process with them."
