Clausman, a 6-foot-4, 301-pound guard, and Byrne, a 6-foot-6, 305-pound tackle, reached their decision Friday to [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2014/05/syracuse_football_recruiting_offensive_linemen_sam_clausman_colin_byrne_commit_t.html']verbally commit to Syracuse's 2015 recruiting class[/URL], a two-for-one packaged deal for Syracuse, which is looking to take five offensive linemen in this recruiting cycle. A third lineman from Illinois, [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2014/05/syracuse_football_lands_verbal_from_cody_conway_its_third_offensive_lineman_of_t.html']Cody Conway, also committed[/URL] to Syracuse on Friday. Byrne, who is fielding interest from other schools but has not yet received any other offers, decided to commit after months of pursuit by McDonald and a family tie to the area — his mother graduated high school with men's lacrosse coach John Desko — that reinforced the notion the school would be a good fit. Byrne went into the office of Rocco Casullo, the head coach at St. Thomas Aquinas and son of former SU assistant Bob Casullo, and the two quickly got McDonald on the phone to relay the news. Clausman soon found out about Byrne's commitment, called his mother informing her he would be following Byrne to Syracuse and went to find Casullo. "Coach, I got some news for you," Clausman said to Casullo. "What?" "I want to commit to Syracuse." "Awesome, let's go to my office and get Coach McDonald on the phone." That's when Clausman broke the news to McDonald. "I think his exact words were, 'Hang on, I think I just passed out.'" Clausman said. ...[/I] [IMG]https://elitesportsnetwork.com/uploads/CodyConway636jpg-9-1393431211.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2014/05/syracuse_football_lands_verbal_from_cody_conway_its_third_offensive_lineman_of_t.html']SU Lands 6'6 280 Behemoth Cody Conway, Highly Rated OT From Illinois (PS; Carlson)[/URL][/B] [I]If Syracuse doesn't set a record for most stars collected in a day of recruiting, the Orange might at least be able to lay claim to the most pounds. Syracuse landed its third verbal commitment from an offensive lineman on Friday when Cody Conway, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound tackle picked SU. Conway is the most highly-regarded of the three by scouting services, earning three stars from the recruiting website At their request, this network is being blocked from this site..

Strickland, a four-star athlete according to 247Sports, is rated as the No. 25 athlete in the country and the No. 10 prospect in the state of New Jersey. He is a three-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite. Strickland posted a photo of himself on [URL='http://instagram.com/p/oGnfhblcY3/']Instagram[/URL] wearing a Syracuse jersey to see how it looks while on the visit. Some other places Strickland has been since January include Penn State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Temple and Rutgers.

A slow start for the 3 technique from Syracuse. Like all high defensive tackle draft picks of late from the New York Giants, I see this as more of a redshirt year for Bromley. He likely gets a similar amount of snaps as [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/193413/johnathan-hankins']Johnathan Hankins[/URL] did last year. [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1955/cullen-jenkins']Cullen Jenkins[/URL] is firmly entrenched as the starter next to Hankins, and I don't envision Bromley beating him out anytime soon. I do see him making an impact in the rotation as the fourth guy behind those two and Mike Patterson. As a pass rusher, I can see him getting a garbage time sack as well as a few tackles for loss. He's definitely a work in progress, so don't expect immediate gratification, but with some technique refinement, we may just have something here. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
