Seven of Syracuse’s 10 football commitments in the 2017 class have picked the Orange during the month of June, and four of those players jumped on board in the last three days. Who are the newest members of Dino Babers’ 2017 group?
- Dakota Davis: Going into this past weekend, Davis got the ball rolling when he committed to Syracuse on Friday. An unranked guard out of Gleneigh, Md., he won’t need to add much more weight at 6-5 and 310 pounds. He also claimed offers from Florida Atlantic, Ohio and a number of FCS programs.
