With Syracuse head coach Red Autry looking to wrap up his first ever recruiting class for the 2024 cycle, the staff is already looking to build on recruiting momentum into 2025.
Here are some of the recruits that Syracuse is pursuing.
Tyler Jackson from Overtime Elite is one of the top recruits of the 2025 class. He was one of the top scorers in Nike EYBL and already established he has the skills to be a pro.
He has offers from numerous schools with Alabama, Kansas, Indiana, and Houston at the top. The Orange offered Jackson last May during his sophomore season.
As a consensus top 100 recruit in the 2025 class, Derek Dixon brings good length as a 6-foot-4 combo guard. Dixon is known for his ability to shoot from long range and can facilitate as a playmaker.
He has offers already from Maryland, Xavier and, most recently, Virginia. Syracuse offered Dixon over the summer and he has said he wants to take a visit.

Jerry Easter II, a borderline five-star, already has over thirty offers and just visited Georgia Tech earlier in September. Syracuse already offered the recruit in 2022 and has been high on him as an all-around scorer.
From Richmond Heights (OH), Dorian Jones holds offers from Arizona State, Cincinnati, Houston, LSU, Missouri, Ohio State and Texas A&M, among many others.
Jones has played great against tough competition and secured an offer from Syracuse at the start of the semester.
Matt Gilhool is a stretch forward that would be a valuable fit in any offense. For this reason, he already has offers from Miami, Wisconsin, and Syracuse, among many others.
The Long Island (NY) Lutheran prospect competed at Syracuse's Elite Camp in August.
Darryn Peterson had offers from Ohio State, LSU, Xavier, and Maryland before he entered the ninth grade. For the lengthy 6-foot-5 point guard, this list has grown to over 25 offers, including the Orange.
Nikola Bundalo, at 6 foot 9, is athletically built, and strong enough to finish at the rim. The next step in his progression will be developing into an elite rim protector. Schools including Syracuse, Michigan State, UCLA, Virginia, and Illinois have already offered the big man.
Efeosa Oliogu is on the rise to obtain five-star status as he continues to impress scouts as another player for Overtime Elite. He is a game changing playmaker with impressive style in transition.
He holds nearly two dozen offers and visited Maryland in September and has another lined up to Missouri in October.
Over the summer Syracuse offered the Southern California point guard who isn't ranked by Rivals, but figured to be in the near future. He has the playmaking ability to run an offense after adding some weight.
Johnson has offers including TCU, Virginia Tech, and Illinois.
Cam Ward’s ability to rebound and score with ease has recruiters increasing his stock heading into his junior year. The 6-foot-6 Ward is just outside the Rivals top 100, and holds more than 20 offers, including from the Orange.
Darius Adams is another highly coveted prospect with his ability to play as a combo guard. He just entered the top 20 in his class in the most recent Rivals rankings.
Just in the last few weeks, Indiana, Kansas, and Florida State all extended offers. Syracuse offered Adams at the end of August.
