Whigham A Chief Recruiting Pickup For Syracuse Football

That's some good recruitin', boys.

Verbal commitment No. 14 is in for the Syracuse Football Class of 2012. It's Julian Whigham, a defensive back from Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens. FL.

Whigham, 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, plays cornerback for Dwyer, which went 12-2 last fall and lost in the semifinals of Florida's Class AAAA playoffs. The high school won a state football title in 2009 and routinely sends players to top Division I-A programs.

Whigham also played some at wide receiver for the talent-laden Panthers, catching four passes for 35 yards and one TD.

He didn't receive any stars from Scout or Rivals but both said he also had offers on the table from Northern Illinois and Western Michigan (but no Akron). He also apparently had interest from FAU, Georgia Tech, Harvard, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Northwestern, USF, Texas A&M and Wake Forest.

Check out Whigham in action and wait a couple hours until the next recruit commits...
