Syracuse Football: Orange add freakish local TE prospect, tale of the tape

Syracuse football picked up another commit recently. Steven Mahar, a tight end from Rochester, New York selected the Orange after visiting the campus last weekend. Interestingly enough, Mahar is the first player from New York to give a verbal commitment to the Orange.

The Rochester native is 6-foot-5 and 225-pounds. He plays his high school at powerhouse, Aquinas Institute, where he stars at tight end and defensive end. In addition to the offer from the Orange, Mahar had offers from Boston College, Indiana, Iowa State, and Rutgers.

According to 247sports.com, Mahar is a 3-star prospect and the 5th best player in the state and the 33rd best player at his position.
