Austin Wilson, a 6’3, 205-pound quarterback from East Pennsboro High School, issued a verbal declaration to Syracuse Sunday evening, according to national recruiting service Scout.com.
Wilson becomes the third quarterback from the 2013 class to issue a preseason declaration to an FBS program, joining Damion Terry (Erie Cathedral Prep, Michigan State) and Chavas Rawlins (Monessen, West Virginia).
In addition to the Orange, Wilson held an offer from Eastern Michigan and had received interest from programs like Akron, Bowling Green, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, Pitt, Rutgers and Wisconsin, among others.
