Syracuse Priority Target Confidential: CB Jahlil Florence What are Syracuse's chances with one of the best defensive backs out west? Author: Jun 1, 2021 Syracuse has done a nice job collecting and developing talent in the secondary under head coach Dino Babers. The Orange is now after one of the top cornerbacks in California in the 2022 recruiting cycle in Jahlil Florence. Where does Syracuse stand with Florence? Who is the main competition and why is he an important target? Full breakdown here. Player: Jahlil Florence Height/Weight: 6-2, 180 Official Visits Scheduled: Michigan (June 11th), Syracuse (June 25th). Scouting Report: One of the top corners in the West in the 2022 cycle, Florence has a coveted combination of length and speed. His 6-2 frame helps on jump balls while his speed allows him to run with opposing receivers down the field. He is a track and field star who runs a 10.7 in the 100m, which is approximately equivalent to a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash. Beyond the pure speed and length, Florence is not afraid to be physical at the line of scrimmage, help in run support or even blitzing the quarterback. He plays with energy and effort, chasing down plays that should be easy touchdowns. On top of that, Florence maintains speed well while changing direction. That allows him to stay with receivers as they break their routes.
