4-star WR Messiah Hampton commits to Oregon
Four-star wide receiver Messiah Hampton committed to Oregon's Class of 2026. Hampton got to know the Ducks' receiver coach, Ross Douglas, when the coach worked at Syracuse. Douglas recruited Hampton, who plays at James Monroe High School in Rochester, N.Y., at the time. And when Douglas moved on to Oregon in February, so did his interest in Hampton, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound wideout. Hampton on Friday chose Oregon from among the list of finalists he announced in May, which also included Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia and Miami, as well as Syracuse. He took official visits to Syracuse and Miami over the past few weeks. Hampton told 247Sports recently that his choice of school would be based on where he could see the most development and where he envisioned himself best fitting into an offensive scheme. Hampton had 56 catches for 869 yards and eight touchdowns in the 2025 season. The 247Sports composite lists Hampton as the No. 11 wide receiver nationally and the No. 1 player in New York. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

They've met only eight times since 1972. Their most recent clash took place last season in Knoxville, where Tennessee rolled to a dominant 96-70 win, marking its fourth consecutive victory in the series. The Volunteers haven't lost to Syracuse since 1993, when the Orange won 98-65.

Syracuse, under head coach Adrian Autry, is aiming to bounce back from a rough season. The Orange finished 14th in the ACC, with an overall record of 14-19 and a conference record of 7-13. The program has added key pieces for the upcoming year, including big man Tiefing Diawara, who joins Ibrahim Souare and William Kyle in the frontcourt. Nathan George, another incoming transfer, is also expected to contribute immediately.

The Vols ultimately fell short of the Final Four, ending the season ranked fifth in the final Associated Press poll. They knocked off Wofford, UCLA and Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament before falling 69-50 to Houston in the Elite Eight. This season, Tennessee is expected to be led by guards Ja'Kobi Gillespie and Amaree Abram. Forwards Nate Ament, Jaylen Carey and Felix Okpara are projected to round out the starting five. This early December clash between Syracuse and Tennessee promises to be one of the headline games of the ACC/SEC Challenge and could set the tone for both programs heading into conference play.
