Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 Wayne (NJ) Passaic County Tech athlete Travon Dye visited Syracuse football recently with his brother Trashon Dye to get a closer look at the program. The intriguing prospect can play multiple positions at the next level. 

"It was awesome," Dye said. "We toured almost the entire campus, learned about the rich history of Syracuse football and all about the number 44. We took a photo shoot and met with some great coaches who made us feel extremely welcomed. We ended up on a FaceTime call with coach Monroe, aka Swag Daddy, and he couldn't wait to meet us in person. The best part I would say would have been how welcomed and at home I felt the coaches and a few players were extremely uplifting. 

"The energy was great. It was great hearing they liked our film and that we're very explosive athletes. They even stayed for a little portion of the photo shoot. Overall it was a great experience and the school and everyone there was amazing." 

Dye also spent time with members of the Orange staff. 

"Coach Wittke, who was also impressed by how explosive we were and impressed with my shot put measurements for track and field," Dye said. "Coach Maddox was also very impressed with our film and felt the Jersey energy we brought with us. And of course coach Khalil Ahmad, who made the visit feel at home and detailed everything about what Syracuse football is." 

Overall, the visit left an impression on the 6-2, 210 pounder. 

"It increased my interest extremely," Dye said. "Would be a school I would definitely consider going to."

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.
