Class of 2023 New Rochelle (N.Y.) Iona Prep linebacker Zyian Moultrie-Goddard is one of the best players in the Empire state and best linebackers in the Northeast. He is a priority target for Syracuse, which hosted him on Saturday for Junior Day. 

"It was good, really enjoyed it," Moultrie-Goddard said. "Great atmosphere up there. We had a position meeting, I had a talk with coach Babers and we watched the basketball game. I really liked the position meeting. I got a chance to talk football with coach White and see how I would fit into the scheme. 

"I would play where Marlowe Wax currently is. He sees a lot of similarities in our game. I like it. It's similar to what I play now." 

The basketball game showcased the game day atmosphere in the Carrier Dome. The Iona Prep standout was impressed. 

"It was a great atmosphere," Moultrie-Goddard said. "The fans really love their players. It got really loud in there." 

Moultrie-Goddard spent a lot of time with the Syracuse coaches. They were able to get to know each other a bit better and further develop the relationship. 

"They were very welcoming and down to earth," Moultrie-Goddard said. 

After visiting, the 6-2, 240 pound backer says his interest in the Orange remains strong. 

"I've always been really interested in Syracuse," Moultrie-Goddard said. "They are pretty high right now." 

Next up is a visit Connecticut on April 2nd and a yet to be scheduled trip to Maryland. There is no current timeframe for a decision.

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.
