Official Visits Fuel Wave of 2027 Commitments June 2026 has been a landmark month for Tulane Green Wave football recruiting under head coach Will Hall. The program hosted a series of official visits that translated directly into commitments, adding significant talent and momentum to the 2027 class. What started as steady growth earlier in the offseason (6 Commits) exploded into a flurry of pledges, with Tulane securing approximately 18 commitments during June alone. This surge has pushed the class size to around 23 commits (Was 24, DB Deshaun Wylie De-Commit), with a strong emphasis on local Louisiana prospects, trench players, skill-position athletes, and versatile defenders. The Green Wave are building depth and competition across multiple position groups while capitalizing on the growing appeal of the program in New Orleans and beyond. Official Visits Drive the Momentum Official visit weekends in June proved decisive. Prospects got an up-close look at Yulman Stadium, the Uptown campus, the coaching staff, and the culture, and many didn’t need long to decide. June Commits: • Joshua Sylvain (WR, Miami Carol City HS, FL) Visited Tulane on June 18 and committed shortly after. The 6’4”, 205 lb big-bodied receiver brings length, contested-catch ability, and red-zone mismatch potential. • Multiple defensive backs and local standouts, including James Tyson (CB, St. Charles Catholic, LaPlace, LA), who had a strong OV and pledged. • Other visitors and quick turnarounds in the defensive line, edge, and skill groups helped fuel the run of commitments. These visits, combined with strong evaluations from camps and prior relationships, created a snowball effect. Coach Hall and the staff have been aggressive and targeted, landing players who fit the scheme and bring high character/intangibles. The June Commitment Haul (2027 Class) Here is a compiled list of the June 2027 commitments for Tulane. Early-to-Mid June Additions: • Teddy Graff (TE, 6’5”/220, Ensworth HS, Nashville, TN) Committed June 5. Blocking tight end with size and upside. • Anquan Jackson (RB, South Jones HS, Ellisville, MS) June 6. • Kavarris Duncan (DL, Winterboro HS, Alpine, AL) June 6. Interior presence. • Ray’Quan Williams (WR, 6’0”/163, St. Augustine HS, New Orleans, LA) June 7. Local speedster and playmaker (#111 WR nationally per 247). • Peyton Perkins (RB, Eupora HS, MS) June 7. Versatile athlete. • James Tyson (CB, 5’11”/180, St. Charles Catholic, LaPlace, LA) June 7. Local DB with strong OV. • Jackson Shaw (OT, 6’6”/260, Catholic HS, Baton Rouge, LA) June 7. Local offensive line help. • Gus Faulkner (S, 6’2”/212, Fairhope HS, AL) June 9. Athletic Hybrid LB. Mid-to-Late June Surge: • Ja’ir Burks (WR, Jesuit HS, New Orleans, LA) June 14. Another local New Orleans skill player. • Jaden Terrance (WR, Archbishop Rummel HS, Metairie, LA) June 14. Local versatile addition. • Hans Emery Julien (EDGE, 6’3”/235, Baylor School, Chattanooga, TN / Laval, Quebec) June 15. Explosive, high-motor pass rusher with length and Canadian prep background. • Malik Ward (EDGE, 6’4”/235, Gautier HS, MS) June 15. Long, athletic disruptor with Gulf Coast production. • Demetrius Terrell (DL, 6’3”/265, Parker HS, Birmingham, AL) June 16. High-upside interior lineman with two-way experience and violent hands. Strong scouting notes on pass rush and run defense. • Dallas Crescenzo (WR, 6’0”/183, Bastrop HS, TX) June 17. Became the 20th commit overall. Big-play vertical threat, excellent route runner, YAC creator, and return-game weapon. Previously decommitted from Purdue; polished and competitive. • Joshua Sylvain (WR, 6’4”/205, Miami Carol City HS, FL) June 19 (after June 18 OV). Imposing length, contested-catch specialist, deep-ball threat, and mismatch creator. One of the more physically dominant WRs in the class. • Aymaud Sykes (RB, 6’0”/180, Dry Prong HS, LA) June 21. Patient, decisive downhill runner with elite acceleration (4.29 40), long speed, contact balance, receiving versatility, and two-way/ATH traits. High-character leader with track pedigree and multi-sport background. Detailed scouting highlights vision, elusiveness, and finishing ability. These additions give Tulane notable strength at WR (multiple additions including local speed and big-bodied options), EDGE/DL (three impactful front-seven pieces in quick succession), secondary (DB/CB/S depth), and offensive line reinforcements, plus backfield and tight end help. Many bring Louisiana or regional ties, which resonates with the fanbase and aids retention/development. Class Outlook and What It Means Tulane’s 2027 class is taking shape rapidly and competitively for an American Conference program. The June haul demonstrates strong staff work in identifying fits, building relationships, and converting official visits into pledges. The emphasis on size/speed at skill positions, length and motor on the edges, and local talent creates a balanced foundation. Note: One earlier commit, DB De’Shawn Wylie, recently flipped to UConn, adjusting the net total slightly (class currently at 23 hard commits). This is normal in recruiting and doesn’t diminish the overall momentum or quality of the remaining group. Under Coach Will Hall, Tulane continues to raise its recruiting profile. The combination of on-field success, NIL/transfer portal activity, and genuine player development is attracting prospects who see a clear path. June’s official visit success and commitment wave position the Green Wave well for the rest of the summer, fall camps, and the 2026–27 cycle. #RollWave Tulane fans have plenty to be excited about.
