Montreal (PQ) Vanier College ATH Nathan Nyandoro committed to Syracuse, he announced on social media.

Nyandoro said the key factors in committing was his relationship with the coaching staff and his trust in their player development.

"It was mainly how real the coaches were to me and down to earth," Nyandoro said. "I got a good vibe from them."

Nyandoro committed after officially visiting Syracuse earlier in the month. During that visit, the staff laid out its vision for how they saw Nyandoro becoming a key player in its system over the next four year.

"(I also committed because of) the experience that they can pass on to me through coaching," Nyandoro said. "(I believe they can) develop me to my full potential."

Nyandoro plays both tight end and defensive lineman, and will enter SU on the defensive side of the ball.

He selected Syracuse over offers from Oregon State, Akron and Boston College.

Nyandoro also respects the tradition Syracuse has had with developing Canadian players, including NFL offensive lineman Matt Bergeron.

"Hearing about another great Canadian player like Matt Bergeron who went from Syracuse to the NFL really is an inspiration to myself and many other Canadian athletes that dream of one day playing professional football," Nyandoro said. "It feels great to have the opportunity to play with such talented athletes."
