Good morning, and welcome back to CFB Roundup from CFB Home – the first daily newsletter that’s all college football, all the time with no bias, no slant, and no fluff.

Deion Sanders on Potential Spring Game with Syracuse: Praying It Happens

Coach Sanders was on NFL Network yesterday, and he shared some excitement about the positive reception from Syracuse’s Fran Brown about the idea of a spring game.

Coach Brown post on X that he and Syracuse would come to Boulder for 3 days for Coach Sanders’ proposal.

Coach Sanders shared, “let me give much love and much respect to my dear friend and my brother, Fran Brown. I love him to life. I’m praying that he’s the guy that’s going to make that jump. His university. We’ve already communicated. Fran, I love you. I appreciate you. I’m praying that it happens. It’s not going to just be about football. It’s going to be about financial literacy. It’s going to be about everything. It’s going to be about academics, as well. We’re going to do a joint thing, with both teams, if we can make this happen.”

4-Star IOL Zyon Guiles Commits to South Carolina

4-star IOL Zyon Guiles committed to South Carolina yesterday over offers from Georgia, Clemson, Florida State, Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida, among others.

Guiles shared that he loved the family aspect he felt from SC, sharing, “Really, just I can see myself being around the coaching staff. How they treat their families was good. It’s definitely somewhere I see myself coming in and playing.”

Guiles ranks as high as 40th nationally and 3rd at the IOL position designation according to On3, but the On3 industry composite ranks Guiles 129th nationally and 7th at the IOL position.

For South Carolina, this is the 5th Blue Chip commitment and 6th commitment total for a class which currently sits at 13th nationally and 7th in the SEC.

4-Star CB Dylan Purter Commits to LSU

4-star CB Dylan Purter committed to LSU yesterday over another couple dozen programs.

Purter shared that he did not get an offer from LSU until mid February, but “they’ve recruited me pretty heavily, staying in contact on a daily basis,” since then, which definitely stuck with him.

He ranks highest according to On3, at 171st nationally and 19th at the CB position. According to the On3 industry composite, Purter ranks 339th nationally and 29th at the CB position.

With the commitment, LSU now adds its 7th Blue Chip commitment and 8th commitment total for a class which currently ranks 1st nationally.

3-Star WR Dylan Wester Commits to Pitt

3-star WR Dylan Wester committed to Pitt yesterday over offers from NC State, Wake Forest, USF, and others.

Wester likely projects to a slot receiver or a gadget guy, at 5-foot-9, 160 pounds and 324 punt return yards last season as a junior in high school (to go with 37 catches for 675 yards and 6 touchdowns).

Wester ranks 57th at the WR position according to 247, but the On3 industry composite ranks Wester 643rd nationally and 103rd at the WR position.

3-Star CB CJ Lavender Commits to Washington

3-star CB CJ Lavender committed to Washington yesterday over offers from Miami, USC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Stanford.

Lavender shared that his relationship was a big part of his decision, telling 247: “I have built a great relationship with the coaching staff and they really made me feel like family. The moment me and my family stepped on campus we felt the love, it’s real.”

Lavender ranks 673rd nationally, according to the On3 industry composite. On3 has him as a safety, ranking him 57th at the safety position.

This is Washington’s 7th commitment in total, for a class which ranks 41st nationally and 13th in the Big Ten.

3-Star ATH E’Shawn Sutton Commits to Syracuse

3-star ATH E’Shawn Sutton committed to Syracuse yesterday over offers from fellow ACC programs Pitt, Wake Forest, as well as plenty of other programs.

“It just felt like family, and me and Coach Fran just connected beyond coaching wise. Our backgrounds are a little similar and the entire coaching staff makes me feel wanted. They are on the uprise, and I feel like I could help contribute to that a lot.”

Sutton can reportedly play WR, RB, and DB.

Sutton is only rated on Rivals, according to On3’s player profile for Sutton, so we don’t know where he ranks yet. But his 5.5 ratings on Rivals is a fairly modest 3-star rating for him.

With this commitment, Syracuse is now up to an impressive 10 commitments for a class which currently sits at 36th nationally and 7th in the ACC.
