Ranked as a four-star recruit by several national recruiting outlets, Samuel is viewed as one of the top athletes in the state of Florida. ESPN and On3 Sports even considered Samuel a top 100 player nationally.
While he’s mostly classified as a versatile athlete, 247 Sports does label him a safety.
Before committing to Syracuse, Samuel had offers from Appalachian State, Florida, FAU, Illinois, Iowa, Liberty, Marshall, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, USF and Western Kentucky. But since his commitment, Samuel has added offers from Auburn, Baylor, Kentucky, Louisville and Michigan State. Samuel has also been in contact and visited LSU.
