This past weekend was hectic for Syracuse football, hosting nine players on official visits in the 315. On top of that, SU also gained two more commitments from the class of 2025 in the last two days. So who are these new faces that head coach Fran Brown is bringing into the program? Let’s take a look into who these new players are, and the impact they will or could have in Syracuse going forward.
WR-Tyler Williams 2025 (Uncommitted)
Williams is a four-star recruit out of Seffiner, Florida, and took his official visit to Syracuse this past weekend. The wideout is already a highly touted prospect, receiving offers from Alabama, Georgia, Miami, and Syracuse. Williams was more than happy following his visit saying, “The weekend was great, got to spend a lot of time with a great coaching staff and see the family Syracuse is.” in regards to his official visit.
DE-Quante Gillians 2025 (Committed)
Syracuse picked up another local product this past weekend with Gillians committing to the program. Gillians, who is from Rochester, New York, picked Syracuse over Michigan State, SMU, and Pitt among others. The lineman is rated three stars by 247 Sports and is ranked as sixth sixth-best player in the state of New York in the class of 2025.
K/P Scott Starzyk 2025 (Uncommitted)
Now I know you must be thinking, why is a kicker on this list of top recruits? Well, Starzyk comes on as the top-rated kicker/punter in the nation for the class of 2025. The Woodlands, Texas native currently has notable offers from Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State among others. Starzyk said “as great getting up to @CuseFootball for my OV!! Great people who are going to make something big happen here!” Starzyk would be a huge get for Brown, and would further show that SU can compete with top-level SEC schools for the best recruits.
DB Rayshon Andrews 2025 (Committed)
Andrews is a guy who committed to SU after taking his official visit to the 315 this past weekend. The Avon Old Farms product is rated three stars by 247 Sports and had offers from BC, Akron, Bowling Green, and UMass before picking Syracuse. Andrews looks to make an instant impact for the squad in 2025, being ranked as the 13th-best player in Connecticut by 247 Sports.
