Syracuse just picked up quite the name in its 2026 recruiting class.
Really, it's both a full name and nickname win for the Orange and second-year head football coach Fran Brown.
The new commitment comes from Roseby Lubintus. He's a 3-star offensive tackle from New Jersey.
And he has the nickname Purgatory.

For the uninitiated, purgatory is the intermediate state after physical death before a soul can enter heaven.
It's not exactly clear why Lubintus has this nickname.
We'll go with the idea that as an offensive tackle, it's his job to keep the defense in purgatory and not let them reach their goal of the quarterback, the parallel to heaven in this analogy.
Lubintus is huge, checking in at 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds.
He chose Syracuse over a top-five that also included Michigan, Penn State, Florida and West Virginia.
It's yet another big recruiting win for the Orange.
