Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football has hosted a lot of visitors from the 2023, 2024 and 2025 classes in recent weeks. One of those was Montvale (NJ) St. Joseph Regional tight end/defensive lineman Ta'kai Chisolm. 

"Syracuse was legit," Chilsom said. "I love the big Orange. I did a photo shoot, tour and meeting with the coaches. The best part was talking with the coaches. It wasn't just about what they thought about football, it was about what they thought about life as well and I loved that." 

Chisolm had the opportunity to speak with several members of Syracuse's coaching and recruiting staff. 

"Spoke with coach Ahmad, Monroe and Achuff," Chisolm said. "It was definitely an honor speaking with them. Had a great time. Can't wait to talk to them again." 

Chisolm was impressed by Syracuse's campus and facilities, but one thing stood out above all else. 

"The place itself is phenomenal," Chisolm said. "Everything stood out. The most outstanding thing was that Dome." 

The visit left an impression on the 6-4, 230 pounder. 

"Visit definitely welcome me," Chisolm said. "Felt very comfortable in Syracuse. Definitely one of my top schools by far." 

Chisolm plans to also visit Penn State, Kent State, UMass, Pittsburgh and Rutgers this spring.

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.
