Syracuse picked up two new linebacker recruits on Sunday.

Junior college linebacker Lakiem Williams committed to Syracuse on Sunday afternoon in a Tweet.

The 6-foot-2, 240-pound linebacker plays at Butte (California) College and committed to Syracuse shunning offers from the likes of Toledo, Houston and Kansas. He runs a 4.43 second 40-yard dash, per his Hudl.com profile, as well as bench presses 365 pounds and squats 630.



Williams took an official visit to Syracuse on Dec. 8 before committing two days later. Texas linebacker Martrevious Allison also committed to Syracuse on Sunday. Previously, Syracuse had two linebackers committed in the Class of 2018: three-stars Juan Wallace and Ja’Qurius Smith. Track the rest of Syracuse’s Class of 2018 here.
