Toosii Backs Away From Syracuse After Fran Brown Describes Walk-On Role

The dispute centers on a claimed promise of paid tuition versus a non-scholarship walk-on spot.

Overview

  • Nau'Jour "Toosii" Grainger said he will not join Syracuse's incoming class after the coach publicly framed his path as a walk-on.
  • Fran Brown has stood by the walk-on characterization and cited a roster crowded by 18 transfer additions, including three receivers.
  • Grainger countered that Syracuse told him it would pay for his school, said he has "receipts," and labeled Brown a "bozo" in a TikTok video.
  • The recording artist announced a return to football in August and committed to Syracuse on Dec. 1 before reversing course this month.
  • Recruiting outlet 247Sports reported he visited NC State and Duke and received a scholarship offer from Sacramento State during his comeback push.
