Caught up with Jalen earlier today. He said that Iowa State, Syracuse, WVa, and BC are among the schools currently standing out. He didn’t have a timeline for when he’ll make a college decision at the moment.

He added: “Syracuse is a school that’s on the rise and that is building something amongst the new coaches. Upon the visit coaches have really been telling me that I will fit really good in their defensive scheme."
