National Signing Day, Syracuse Recruiting: 8-ish AM in Parris

Josh Parris' Stephenson High School down in Stone Mountain, GA featured a powerful running attack this season, so he didn't see too many passes thrown his way. The powerful tight end was utilized primarily as a blocker, and was a major factor in the Jaguars' 9-2 record.

Rivals says...three stars.

Scout says...three stars as well, and a positional rank of 55.

ESPN says...three stars, a grade of 76, positional rank of 47, regional rank of 423, and a state rank of 93.

Who's Crying?: Boston College, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, USF, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia

Money Quote: "There was a misunderstanding. I committed to South Florida to play tight end, but they told me recently that they recruited me at fullback. I want to play tight end in college."

Which SU Coach Gets a Bonus?: Adkins and Marrone were the lead guys on this commit.

Fun Fact: Stephenson is something of a football factory. 29 of the 32 senior football players in 2010 received football scholarships.
