Class of 2025 QB Luke Carney (TX) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/4/24)

[Cuse12]

He’s just a great football player. Not just a QB, that’s bad ass. He is exactly what I think Fran wants in a player. Very curious how he shakes out in our QB battles going forward. Him v JW is going to be great for our team, whoever rises to the top means something. No more true lack of competition like in the past.

 

[Cuse Stock]

Someone said Luke has good combine numbers for a pocket passer, his combine numbers are in the databases, they are legit but he’s not a pocket passer, kid is more of a dual threat than most of the QB room, he has over 3,000 rushing yards for his career

He seems very mature and composed. Enrolling early but doesn't have an expectation that he'll start Day 1. If anything he knows he'll redshirt and get a chance to earn the starting job in Spring 2026.

Agree. Comes off mature and I think it also speaks to Fran and the staff communicating honest and realistic expectations with recruits.

Is Luke enrolling early?

Yes

 

[RMH44]

Yes

Thanks. If that's the case, then I just don't think you can count him out for playing time.

 

[Oakland]

Congrats to Luke! He just won his 4th straight state championship. He started every game in that streak.

The Billy Owens of football.

The Duke kid - Jeff Lebo? And don't forget, Michael Owens was on a couple of those championship teams, too.

Wasn't Lebo a Tarheel?

Wouldn’t that be Michael?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Hey mods, would it be possible to put in the subject line which commits like Carney are early enrollees?

Yes, Jeff Lebo..Played at North Carolina...

I'm aware of that. It's a question that comes up very frequently on players regardless of that thread being available. Perhaps it is relevant enough information that it's worth making clearer using the thread titles.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

According to that thread, Carney is the only January enrollee.

I don't think we'll know until players start moving in. Even then maybe not till a new roster is out.

which is not true. Samuels is moving in with Fran Jr. per his insta.

Portals/transfers are most likely all January enrollees.

Also the Student Directory as of last week was unavailable so unless something shows up on social media it's difficult to confirm earlies.

ah, c'mon CL -
with all of the insiders and otherwise connected folks around here, we don't know a single current student or faculty member who could peruse said directory on our behalf?

that's not very DART of us as a fanbase.

Lol...we have a source but the database hasn't been accessible...blame the university.

I thought only one early enrollee seemed a bit light.
