There may be a pause in basketball and no bowl game for football, but there’s plenty of news from the recruiting world as he head into the holiday week.
Syracuse picked up a commitment from New Mexico State transfer Juwaun Price, he announced on Tuesday. Price, a running back, has three years of eligibility remaining, and will add badly needed depth after Cooper Lutz entered the transfer portal and Abdul Adams exhausted his eligibility. With the Aggies, he rushed for 692 yards and 10 touchdowns. He will likely be the primary backup to Sean Tucker.
Another transfer the Orange is pursuing is Lafayette tight end Steven Stilianos. He tweeted over the weekend that he received an offer from Syracuse, and still has two years of eligibility remaining. Stilianos is a two-time First Team All Patriot League selection and also has an offer from Rutgers. According to Sports Illustrated’s Mike McAllister, he plans on taking an official visit to Syracuse in January.
Syracuse added another player in the 2022 cycle over the weekend, this time from long snapper Ethan Stangle, he announced via Twitter. The Maryland product joined SU as a preferred walk-on, and is the 43rd rated long snapper in his class and a 4 1/2 star prospect according to Kohl’s Professional Camps. “Thank you to Coach Ligasheksy and the rest of the staff for this tremendous opportunity,” he wrote.
The Orange also continues to recruit in the 2022 class ahead of the February signing period. Skyridge (UT) offensive lineman Tapuvae Amaama has only taken two official visits in his recruitment so far: Syracuse and Virginia. Initially, Amaama announced he would be announcing his commitment on Jan. 22 at the Polynesian Bowl, but later retracted it. He is rated three stars by 247 Sports.
