No. 4 WR Calvin Russell commits to Syracuse

Calvin Russell is going Orange.

The No. 4 WR in the 2026 class announced his commitment to Syracuse on Saturday, passing up offers to powerhouse programs like Michigan, LSU, Oregon, and several others, according to ESPN 300.

Russell, a four-star recruit who hails from Miami, also declined local offers from Florida State, Florida, and Miami.

The 6-foot-6, 190-pound deep threat is ESPN's No. 28 overall recruit. He would be the highest-ranked addition in Syracuse football history if he signs later this year.

Russell caught 39 passes for 704 yards and 13 touchdowns in his junior year at Miami Northwestern High School. He also averaged 21 points and seven rebounds on the hardcourt and is expected to pursue a chance to play basketball at Syracuse.
