Dual-threat quarterback Mitch Kimble committed to Syracuse on Monday.

A 6-foot-3, 190-pound two-star recruit from Jerseyville, Ill., Kimble threw for 1,427 yards and 10 touchdowns while rushing for 957 yards and 15 scores last season at Jerseyville High School.

“I think I’ll fit in pretty good,” Kimble said. “I feel comfortable with what they want to do.”

The move of former Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to the Buffalo Bills had no influence on Kimble’s decision, he said, because he wasn’t in contact with SU during Marrone’s tenure. After meeting the SU players and new coaching staff, Kimble said, he feels Syracuse is a “perfect fit.”

Kimble has big shoes to fill now that Ryan Nassib’s college career is finished, but he said he’s confident he can do it. Kimble said he expects to compete for the starting quarterback job next season, and thinks he has a good chance to earn the spot.

He received official offers from Illinois State, North Carolina State and Northern Illinois, according to Rivals.com.
