Calvin Russell: Dual-Sport Star and Future Syracuse Athlete

October 31, 2025
Calvin Russell is an All-American receiver who won a state title at Miami Northwestern and will play both football and basketball at Syracuse.

Calvin Russell caught 39 passes for 704 yards and 13 touchdowns during Miami Northwestern's run to the Florida Class 3-A State Championship. That earned him an invitation to the Navy All-American Bowl.

He's also a Division I basketball prospect. Russell committed to Syracuse to pursue both sports at the collegiate level—a rare dual-sport path at a Power 5 program.
