National Signing Day 2012: Syracuse Football Enters Wednesday With Momentum

The Syracuse football recruiting class has taken shape over the past few days and will finalize Wednesday during National Signing Day 2012. The Orange have already landed commitments from 23 players including a trio of three-star defensive linemen Poncho Barnwell (Rochester, N.Y.), Myles Hilliard (Bedford, OH), and Markus Pierce-Brewster (San Fransisco, CA) and three-star quarterback Ashton Broyld (New Berlin, N.Y.).

The Syracuse football recruiting class of 2012 is currently ranked No. 51 by Scout.com and could jump into the Top 50 if its gets three-star defensive back Wayne Morgan (Brooklyn) to commit Wednesday -- Morgan will make his announcement at 4 p.m.

Syracuse is also trying to pry three-star defensive lineman Julian Pinnix-Odrick away from Rutgers.
