SU football 2026 five-star WR signee Calvin Russell III has joined Syracuse basketball, the program officially announced on Sunday, something that I first reported last summer was expected to happen. This had been a long time coming, and it's exciting.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Russell, a top-25 national prospect in the 2026 high school football class, has enrolled at Syracuse University for its spring semester, which began on Monday. He is expected to start practicing with 'Cuse hoops and be available for upcoming games. Syracuse basketball will host Florida State at the JMA Wireless Dome on Tuesday night.
