Class of 2016 linebacker Andrew Armstrong verbally committed to Syracuse, he confirmed to The Daily Orange in a Twitter direct message. WKBN’s Chad Krispinsky first reported the news Tuesday night.
Until Dec. 10, Armstrong was committed to Bowling Green, where SU head coach Dino Babers used to have the same position. Babers, Syracuse’s new head coach, has also brought in six of his former assistants from the Falcons. The Cardinal Mooney (Ohio) High School linebacker took an official visit to the Orange this past weekend.
Armstrong is now the 13th member of the Orange’s 2016 class after fellow linebacker Taylor Riggins decommitted from SU just a few hours earlier on Tuesday.
