Richardson Commits to Syracuse

Six-foot-four, 270-pound defensive lineman Edan Richardson has committed to Syracuse for the 2027 class, set to play big end and disrupt opposing offenses with his size and pass-rushing ability. His decision followed a strong personal connection with head coach Fran Brown and defensive line coach John Scott Jr., who made him feel like family during his Central New York visit. Current players, including an Alabama transfer, praised the program’s intense work ethic — even tougher than under Saban — sealing the deal. Richardson canceled a planned trip to Central Florida, declaring he’d found his home. Meanwhile, Syracuse’s recruiting focus on massive linemen continues with three-star tackle Marcus Small, who’s still weighing options despite his commitment, as UCF tries to lure him away.
