Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football landed 2024 Denton (TX) Guyer offensive lineman Willie Goodacre committed to Syracuse on Monday. He picked the Orange over offers from Arizona State, BYU, Cal, Houston, Kansas, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, SMU and many others.

"It's home," Goodacre said. "It makes you feel like you're part of a team and a family. You have something to work for and look forward to because there's always an opportunity to compete for a starting spot and time on the field." 

Once the 6-5, 300 pound offensive lineman visited Syracuse, he put the Orange on top of his recruitment. A visit to Kansas loomed, however, before a decision was made. Following that trip, he new Central New York was his future home. Once the decision was made, it was time to inform his future coaches. 

"They were very excited," Goodacre said. "They have a lot to look forward to. They're glad they have Texas influence on the roster and they're ready to see how I compete." 

Landing an offensive lineman with several power five offers from a powerhouse program in the talent rich state of Texas is a big recruiting win for Syracuse. Once he arrives, Goodacre plans to live up to that promise. 

"All I can guarantee is that I love football," Goodacre said. "I'm going to give it everything I got to make Syracuse one of the top 25 schools in the nation."

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.
