Toosii -- legal name Nau'Jour Lazier Grainger -- really went the whole nine ... or, in this case, 100 yards with his announcement, as he wrote a lengthy statement in the caption thanking his supporters for believing in him as he pursues his athletic dreams.
He wrote he's excited to return to his hometown of Syracuse, New York, after moving down to North Carolina during his teenage years.
Toosii played wide receiver at Rolesville High School, and he'll be playing the same position with the Orange, reports CBS Sports.
The rapper -- whose track "Favorite Song" went double platinum in 2023 -- announced in August he's returning to football ... he reportedly visited both North Carolina State University and Duke University before committing to Syracuse.
Syracuse's football team is currently listed at number 105 in CBS Sports' college football rankings ... and we'll have to wait and see Toosii can help the Orange bump the number higher!
