Welcome to college football’s first early signing period! The Syracuse Orange’s 2018 class can start signing letters of intent on Wednesday (through Friday) to become official members of the program.
So far, we’re expecting 18 players to sign with SU, though a couple more might join the group before the end of the week. Hopefully that’s as far as the surprises go. This year’s hashtag theme? #BEL18VE
Right now, Dino Babers’s third Syracuse recruiting class looks like it could end up ranked in the top 40 -- something that is awesome, but still shocking just the same. This year’s list of (18) players we could end up hearing from today (with announcement times where applicable):
- Tre Allison, LB (11 a.m.)
- Andre Cisco, S
- Akeem Dixon, RB
- Willem Froumy, OT
- Taj Harris, WR (7:45 a.m.)
- Edward Hendrix, WR
- Gabe Horan, TE/OT
- Cameron Jonas, S
- Jawhar Jordan, RB
- Cooper Lutz, WR
- Anthony Queeley, WR
- Tyrone Sampson, OC
- Carlos Vettorello, OG
- Juan Wallace, LB
- Qadir White, OT
- Atrilleon “Trill” Williams, ATH (12:30 p.m.)
- Lakiem Williams, LB (9 a.m.)
Also a few players whose potential decisions we should keep an eye on:
- Chance Amie, QB (11 a.m.)
- Randy Charlton, DE (9 a.m.)
- Tre Weed, WR
Either the @CuseFootball or @Commit2Cuse Twitter feed (or both?) will be the first to know who’s signed, and then next is probably us (or at least, that’s our story). Follow those feed if you don’t already. Then clearly keep following @NunesMagician and myself for everything Syracuse NSD as well.
I’ll be up a little early out here on the West Coast, but not when things get kicked off right at 7 a.m. ET. For those updates, Kevin’s going to be posting as commits come in until I’m awake. As faxes and other news streams in, we’ll be updating this storystream with more. You can also subscribe to updates above.
