UConn’s 2027 recruiting class picked up three more names heading into the weekend, pushing the group to 23 commits and keeping the Huskies at No. 66 in the 2027 team recruiting rankings.
The latest additions came in a quick burst across the week. Wilder Brasher, Javon Lane and Jamarr Malcolm all announced verbal commitments to UConn on X, giving the Huskies another offensive lineman, an edge rusher and another blocker up front.
Brasher was first. The Georgia native received an offer from UConn on Monday and committed the next day.
The 6-foot-5, 280-pound offensive lineman from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee HS picked up 12 offers overall, with Toledo, Kansas State, UCLA and Army among the schools in the mix. His most recent official visit came on June 19 at UCLA, and his pledge makes him Connecticut’s 22nd commit in the 2027 class.
Lane followed on Wednesday. The New Jersey prospect, listed as a three-star defensive end, had six offers and also heard from Syracuse and Temple.
UConn offered him on March 23 and hosted him for an official visit last Friday. During the 2025 season, Lane helped Atlantic City HS finish 10-2.
The soon-to-be senior is ranked 1,492 nationally, 113 at edge and 43 in New Jersey. At 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, he put together 48 tackles, including 34 solo and 14 assisted, along with six tackles for loss as a sophomore in 2024.
Lane is viewed as an aggressive defender who explodes off the line.
Malcolm rounded out the trio on Saturday. The New York native chose UConn after drawing 13 offers, including interest from UMass, Minnesota and Syracuse.
A Cardinal Hayes HS standout, Malcolm is described as a powerful attacker who can create space for the run game. At 6-foot-5 and 285 pounds, he becomes Connecticut’s fifth 2027 offensive line commit, joining Krystian Oakley, Aden Norris, Jeremiah Ogbeifun and Brasher.

Buffalo Prospect Left His First Syracuse Visit Wanting More
Alex Davis got an early look at Syracuse this summer, and the Buffalo defensive lineman came away with a clearer sense of why the Orange have been on him so soon. The Canisius High prospect attended the programs Franchise Camp in June after landing an offer from Syracuse, spending time around coaches John Scott Jr. and Jeremy Hawkins as they talked through his development and what comes next. For a young lineman still early in his recruiting process, the visit gave him a chance to see how the Orange are building relationships well before the usual pressure points of a recruiting race.
What stood out to Davis was the culture Fran Brown has put in place and the way Syracuse sells growth beyond just football. He has said the programs emphasis on development on and off the field fits what he is looking for, which matters for a prospect from Buffalo who already has a local connection to the Orange. The first in-person stop did what a good visit is supposed to do: confirm the interest, sharpen the picture and leave him wanting another look. [Read more 🡒]
Syracuse Recruiting Just Got More Complicated For Several Top Targets
The EYBL Scholastic shakeup is going to ripple through Syracuses recruiting board, with the league trimming from 20 teams to 15 for the 2026-27 season and several familiar prep programs losing their place in the circuit. For the Orange, that matters because so many of the players they are tracking are spread across those high-profile schools, where national schedules and constant evaluation have become part of the recruiting backdrop.
Syracuses staff has already been tied to prospects at places like AZ Compass Prep, Long Island Lutheran and Iowa United Prep, while new head coach Gerry McNamaras group is also showing interest in younger targets such as Kevin Wheatley Jr. The change does not alter the talent level of the players Syracuse wants, but it does make their paths a little less straightforward, especially as some recruits will be navigating new homes and new exposure before the next cycle settles in.

Gerry McNamaras First Syracuse Schedule Already Looks Absolutely Brutal
Gerry McNamaras first Syracuse schedule is already shaping up like a crash course in life as a head coach. The Orange are preparing for the 2026-27 season with a slate that could feature a long list of preseason top-25 opponents, including Duke, Virginia, Louisville, North Carolina, Miami, Indiana and St. Johns, based on early rankings from ESPN, CBS Sports and Jon Rothstein.
For Syracuse, the challenge is obvious before the games even arrive. Rothstein has the Orange at No. 43, while ESPN and CBS Sports leave them out of their preseason polls altogether, which means McNamaras team may spend much of the year trying to prove it belongs in the same conversation as the programs on its schedule. The upside is just as clear: if Syracuse can navigate that kind of gauntlet, it will have earned every bit of attention that comes with it. [Read more 🡒]
