Syracuse football 2024 rankings climb with pledge from national prospect

The Syracuse football 2024 class got a bump in the national rankings this week after the Orange received a verbal commitment from a three-star athlete from Virginia.

In recent days, Elijah Washington said on Twitter that he would verbally commit to the ‘Cuse, giving the team 17 pledges to date in the rising-senior class.

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Washington, who attends Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk, Va., is nationally ranked by both of the industry-generated composite rating systems. He picked up a scholarship offer from the Orange in late May.
