July 09, 2024 The Battle for New Jersey: Syracuse and Rutgers football are piling up commitments (with Brian Fonseca of NJ.com)
On the latest episode of Syracuse Sports, Brent Axe chats with Brian Fonseca of NJ.com about how Syracuse and Rutgers football are leading the country in landing commitments for the Class of 2025.
Brent and Brian discuss how New Jersey is a key battleground for recruiting for both programs, how Fran Brown's close ties to the state will shake up recruiting there, why Rutgers has landed more 4-star commitments than Syracuse and how both programs have important seasons coming up. They also discuss how feasible it would be for Syracuse and Rutgers to play more of a consistent non-conference matchup in the future.
