Class of 2026 DB CJ Hester (FL) Verbal to Florida

[OburgCuse]

Read online its SU and Iowa

From my understanding Florida is the team to beat

 

[vnycuse]

Based on the pictures from the in home visit by SU in January it’s either SU, Florida, or Auburn . Hopefully is Cuse!

Fran Brown and Ferentz are such different personalities. Weird final 2 if true.

They put some guys in the NFL though. Some DB's lately too.

FWIW, there are four projections in Florida's direction for Hester via On3. I do believe Syracuse is a close second at this time...

 

[CbusCuse]

Well he is supposed to visit SU June 6th weekend. We should have a better idea of where we stand after that.

 

[SURules]

Any update on how his visit is going? Would love to get him over Florida.

No 8 safety vs a safety wearing #8. Give me the first option

it's probably just me being a Syracuse fan, but the uniforms in all of the OV shots just pop, they look amazing.

With Ibn’s commitment I think we’re out on CJ

I think he replaces Gates.

with the amount of roster space i really don’t think it matters. We’ll take who we want and worry about it later. Missing or getting one single guy will not effect anyone else at every position minus possibly QB.

4-star cornerback recruit set to make college decision this week. Who is Syracuse’s competition?

Cocoa High School (Florida) senior CJ Hester will choose between Syracuse, Florida State, Florida, Auburn, Georgia and Iowa this week.

His mom apparently lives in Rochester.

Interesting on timing. May not announce till Thursday now. He'd be a huge add...get him, Calvin and a few of the other flips and we're solidly in top five/four in the ACC and a legit top 25 class.

Also, may be noteworthy that he is even talking to Syracuse.com this close to the decision.

 

[Biaxtar]

Its Florida or Georgia I think.

Yup. I am leaning Georgia, nothing I've heard, just a hunch

There's a lot of good tidbits in that article that could swing it our way. Samuels and Mom. I reread this twice... “She likes the school a lot,” Hester said. “She likes the coaches. She likes some of the coaches’ wives. It’s good seeing her get to meet their families.”

Having mom onboard is always a huge plus. Not a guarantee but it helps. And if it doesn’t work out at destination number one, it plays a bigger role in the portal.
