Former Syracuse University recruit Tyree Smallwood signs with Bethune-Cookman

Syracuse, NY -- Tyree Smallwood, a member of Syracuse University's recruiting class of 2011, is now headed to FCS college Bethune-Cookman, according to a report in the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Smallwood, who failed to qualify academically out of Cornwall Central High School in New Windsor, ended up enrolling at Milford Academy prep school in New Berlin. But the 5-11, 180-pound running back never became a part of SU's 2012 class.

Smallwood is still listed on the 2011 Milford Academy football roster, but statistics for him, which had been listed during the season, have been removed.

B-CU signs ex-Syracuse 3-Star signee  

Former Syracuse signee Tyree Smallwood signed a letter of intent Friday to play football next season at Bethune-Cookman, Wildcats coach Brian Jenkins said Sunday.

Smallwood rushed for more than 2,500 yards as a high school senior at Cornwall, N.Y., in 2010 and signed with Syracuse but did not qualify. He played football for Milford Academy prep school in New Berlin, N.Y., this past season. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound speedster will play wide receiver for B-CU but will likely also see time at running back, Jenkins said.

"I'm real excited about this one," Jenkins said of his 16th signee of the 2012 class. "He has legit 4.3 speed. When you watch him run, it's impressive. You can see it on film. We look at him as a major offensive weapon. I think he'll help us out immediately."
