Official offers went out to prospects today, and Syracuse commit Tommy DeVito was among the recruits to post a picture of that offer on Twitter. The 2017 New Jersey quarterback is currently rated three stars by Scout.

Syracuse.com’s Stephen Bailey reports that 2017 Virginia running back Damone Drew attempted to commit to Syracuse over the weekend, but the Orange wouldn’t accept. He is rated three stars, and was also considering Temple.

In June, Syracuse extended an offer to four-star guard Alex O’Connell. Scout.com’s Evan Daniels reported on Monday that the 2017 prospect is taking a visit to Louisville.

That’s all for today. See you tomorrow!
