Ohio linebacker Troy Henderson pledged his commitment to the Syracuse Orange football Class of 2015 on Tuesday. At least, I think he did...
I went from riding the bus for years and now I can choose the bus I ride on. I have decided to take my path to The University of Syrcause!

GOD DAMN YOU, UNIVERSITY OF SYRACUSE. I don't know who you are, where you're located or how you're even an accredited university but STOP STEALING OUR RECRUITS.
YOU TOO, UNIVERSITY OF SYRCAUSE!
Incidentally, I realize now that instead of #CuseTixForKids, I should have called it #SyrCause.
Rated three stars by all the recruiting sites, Henderson chose SU over Rutgers and Nebraska (and Akron). Not too shabby. The 6'1" 215-pound credited Syracuse's coaching staff with why he committed:
"They have been after me for a long time, and just throughout the process, I have developed a nice comfort level with all of the coaches," Henderson said. "I plan on having marketing as my major at college, and they have a great program. When looking at Syracuse, me and my family felt they were the place that would allow me to reach my full potential as a player, as well as a man."
Troy, I was a marketing major. It's a fine program. You'll probably end up using nothing you learn there, but, good for you.
Henderson is the third LB in the 2015 class, which has now ballooned to 25 members, the biggest in the nation.
