In its class, the 6-foot 2, 175 pound hesters are viewed by one of the main rating services as TOP 10 security, and it is also a national top 5050 prospect in the 2026 Cycle, so that both the industry-generated 247sports composite and the industry-generated industrial ranking in the industry are emerging.

Hester is a coveted view. According to 247sports, he has more than 30 offers from a number of wedding programs. He has visited the hill unofficially in the past.

Syracuse Football has achieved an official visit from 2026 4 star defender CJ Hester.

According to his X account, the orange team of coaching team, led by head coach Fran Brown, offered a scholarship according to his X account. At this point, I do not see any analyst forecasts for Hester between the 247Sports -website, rivals.com and the On3 website, although applicants, including the Southeasters Conference member Florida, will prove the strong competition for the 'CUSE.

At the beginning of this year, Adam Gorney, National Recruiting Director of Rivals.com, found that Syracuse Football was a program that was observed in Hester's recruitment.

As I have recently found in the past few cases, Syracuse soccer coach has been recruiting the sunshine state hard. Numerous high school in Florida signed in its large class of 2025 at the Orange and at the same time conveyed several verbal commitments in the cycles 2026 and 2027.

In a broader sense, a variety of recruitment destinations in Florida in the above-mentioned classes have either stipulated either unofficial or official visits to the CUSE in the coming months, while the football from Syracuse has recently made the list of cuts of several four-star chances in the Sunshine State.

Great in the home visit !! @Cusefootball @Coachj_schaefer @Franbrowncuse @Cocoocafootball @Cococoa_chnider @Mdiesel321 @Coach_meny pic.twitter.com/ts1vqsothx
