We need a kid named Bubba...from Solvay.

PWO? He's young for the 2020 class; he won't turn eighteen until October. He's big and can move. First Team All-State Class B.

Meet the 2019 All-Central New York football team (small schools)

Call me crazy but I really like this guy and and think can play at Syracuse. Probably will grow into a DT down the road. Hope he doesn’t here. I would expect him to win a scholarship very quickly, if he hasn’t been offered one already.

CL's OP in this thread posted a tweet by Wright that he was offered. Unless I'm misunderstanding your post. Are you saying you think his offer was a PWO offer?

It certainly wouldn't be the first time a prospect did it. See exhibit QB:

Well, it's an offer...just not one that is a scholarship.

I suspect it might be. It is really really late to get a full scholarship offer from a P5 school. Maybe the reason he wasn’t offered earlier because of academics and he recently made in roads here? To my eyes, he is worthy of a scholarship from Syracuse.

This is the kind of player I think we need to go after to address our lack of numbers at DT. He is going to take 2 years to develop into a DT but he has the frame and the athletic ability to be a fine DT down the road. I don’t think we are going to get many top notch HS DTs that are ready to play right away. This is how we can best address the DT problem. IMHO.

Plus it's always good to recruit one local kid each class.

Thanks, Tom. Makes sense.

Syracuse football offers walk-on opportunity to Solvay defensive lineman Elijah Wright

Always good to have quality PWO and even better to have a local kid become part of the team. Hope he's Cuse soon.

Not a big highlight video guy, but what does the DE #9, LT #70 in his hudl video refer to? Certainly not his national rank. State rank maybe?

I think those are his jersey numbers.

Thanks, I guess if I had paid more attention to the video I would have figured that out!

He's also a high academic student and will come out of high school with roughly 30+ college credits already completed. With the proper training at Syracuse, watch him develop and make a big impact

Nice prospect as a PWO. Man amongst boys at that level so we’ll see if that translates.

Is Solvay included in the free tuition program that Syracuse has with some of the local high schools?

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Played well in b-ball this weekend too.

Not 100% positive but I believe that's for city schools only, which Solvay is not.

 

[Kwright706]

No, Solvay is not part of the Say Yes program for free tuition
