Syracuse Football Locks In Visits With Top Recruits This Spring

Syracuse football ramps up recruitment efforts with key spring visits from highly-touted 2027 prospects SaNir Brooks and Tyler Alexander.

Syracuse football is in full swing, focusing on securing spring visits and official commitments from high school prospects. Among the recruits, Sa’Nir Brooks, a promising 2027 three-star running back from Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, is set to visit the Orange from June 12 to June 14.

Brooks, standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 190 pounds, has already committed verbally to Syracuse earlier this year. His decision to visit underscores the strong recruiting efforts by the Syracuse coaching staff, particularly at a powerhouse like Saint Frances, which is known for its formidable football program.

Brooks ranks within the top 450 nationally for the 2027 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. His team, Saint Frances, ended last season with a 9-1 record, securing the No. 2 spot nationwide per MaxPreps. This visit is a significant step in solidifying his future with Syracuse.

Another key recruit, Tyler Alexander, a 2027 three-star defensive tackle from Florida, is also on Syracuse's radar. Alexander, who holds a scholarship offer from the Orange, has lined up several spring visits, including a stop at Syracuse on March 28. At 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, Alexander is a sought-after talent with an impressive list of potential suitors, including Florida, Texas, Georgia, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and Ohio State.

Alexander received his second Division I offer from Syracuse back in February 2025, marking a pivotal moment in his recruitment journey. Currently, he is ranked No. 752 overall in the 2027 class by Rivals, with a position ranking of No. 79 among defensive linemen and No. 86 in Florida. As a junior at Palm Beach Central High School, Alexander's performance continues to attract attention, with his school finishing the 2025 season with a 6-5 record.

Both Brooks and Alexander represent significant potential for Syracuse, and their upcoming visits could be crucial in shaping the future of the Orange's roster. The focus on these talented recruits highlights Syracuse's commitment to building a competitive team for the coming seasons.
