Jacolby Spells, an elite defensive back in the 2022 class, owns more than 20 scholarship offers, but he has whittled down his list of finalists to five teams, including Syracuse football.

The 5-foot-11 Spells, an extremely talented and versatile player who has suited up on both sides of the football field, recently revealed via his Twitter page a top five of the Orange, along with Georgia, Indiana, Miami and West Virginia.

A junior at the American Heritage School in Plantation, Fla., Spells previously played wide receiver but in the spring and summer of 2020, he transitioned to cornerback, according to Spells’ bio on the 247Sports Web site.
