Toosii is taking his skills to Syracuse University. The artist will likely be placing down the microphone and strapping on cleats to play soccer for the school’s prestigious soccer program.

The “Favorite Song” rapper made the announcement on Monday (Dec. 1). “COMMITTED. For every kid who ever had a dream, make it reality. God’s will is the way and no one can stop it — not even the devil. I wanna thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ for even giving me the strength to chase what I believed when so many people told me I couldn’t,” Toosii wrote on his official X account, alongside images of himself in a Syracuse Orange soccer jersey.

He added, “Thank you to the people who supported me as well; it never [goes] unnoticed. To be born in Syracuse and move to North Carolina at age 12 and haven’t been back since. When Coach Fran called, I knew it was a sign from God. So, with that being said, ‘Cuse I’m coming home.”

In August, the platinum rapper introduced his intention to “go back to school” to play soccer for a D1 school group in 2026. “I’m chasing history. First multi-platinum recording artist to go back to school and play DIVISION I football. Next year, I’m gonna be on somebody’s team. Mark my words!” he captioned a video of himself understanding at North Carolina State University.

In September, he excitedly revealed that he had received a scholarship offer to play for Sacramento State.
