Middle Village (N.Y.) Christ The King Regional shooting guard Kiyan Anthony received an offer from Syracuse on Sunday afternoon. His father, NBA star Carmelo Anthony, helped lead the Orange to a national championship in the 2002-03 season.

Anthony is not ranked in the 2025 On3 Consensus or 2025 On3 Ranking. He is 6-foot-3 and weighs 165 pounds.

The sophomore currently holds two other offers. They are from George Mason and Manhattan.

After helping lead Syracuse to a national title, Carmelo won the NCAA Tournamentā€™s Most Outstanding Player award. One of his top performances came in the Final Four against Texas, when he set the tournament record for most points scored by a freshman with 33.

Carmelo declared for the NBA Draft after one season with the Orange and was selected third by the Denver Nuggets. He is currently a free agent who has played for six NBA teams and made 10 NBA All-Star teams.
