2-star cornerback Whitner flips from Appalachian State to Syracuse

Two-star cornerback Kielan Whitner has flipped his verbal commitment from Appalachian State to Syracuse, he tweeted Sunday afternoon. Scout.com had reported it earlier Sunday morning.

The Mountain View (Georgia) High School product’s pledge to Appalachian State was only a soft verbal, per Scout, and Whitner chose SU over offers from the likes of Air Force, Marshall and Army. He’s only the second cornerback in SU’s current class, joining three-star New Jersey prospect Daivon Ellison.

The 6-foot, 180-pound Whitner is also the third verbal from the state of Georgia, joining three-star safety Christopher Fredrick and three-star defensive tackle Tyler Cross.

The Orange now boasts 26 verbal commits with three days to go until National Signing Day.
