Syracuse added to its 2025 class on Wednesday when Miami (FL) Northwestern wide receiver Darius Johnson flipped his commitment from Troy to the Orange.

Johnson, a three-star prospect, received an offer from Syracuse in November and officially visited Syracuse over the weekend for its matchup against Miami.

The Orange upset the No. 6 Hurricanes, and Johnson came away impressed with SU's passing attack, which amassed 380 yards and three touchdowns.

"Passing attack different there," Johnson said to Rivals.

That allowed Syracuse to finish the regular season 9-3, and the Miami (FL) Northwestern athlete knew that was something he wanted to be a part of.

"Coach Fran Brown building something special in the Cuse," Johnson said.

One of McCord's most consistent targets was Trebor Pena, who finisehd with six receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown. On the season, he has 871 yards and seven scores, and was named to the All-ACC Second Team.

"I see myself filling in a Trebor Pena role," he said.
