Syracuse received a commitment from 2027 quarterback Justin Dixon, he announced on social media.

"I picked Syracuse because of the hospitality and family feel they gave me from day one," Dixon said to The Juice Online.

He committed during a visit to Syracuse on Saturday, when the Orange defeated No. 6 Miami, 42-38. The signal caller Dixon will eventually replace, Kyle McCord, threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns, setting a program record for passing yards in a single season.

That style of play was another reason for his commitment.

"The offense is very QB friendly," Dixon said. They throw the football a ton which I love and spread the ball around to different receivers which is awesome. 'Everybody eats.'"

Another factor in his commitment was the culture Fran Brown has created in his first season as head coach.

The Orange finished the season 9-3, their best finish to a regular season since 2018, and just the third time SU will have an opportunity to go for a 10-win season since 2001.

"I love the culture that coach Brown is building here and I wanted to be a part of that," Dixon said. "I chose to commit early because it was right for me. It just felt right."

He is the first commitment in SU's 2027 class.

The Towson (MD) Concordia Prep had also visited Syracuse earlier in November to watch the Orange defeat Virginia Tech.

"The game today was awesome," Dixon said. "Great environment. Glad I was able to be a part of it."
