REAL DEAL: Last year, Syracuse football enjoyed a resurgent season under first-year head coach Fran Brown. The Orange won 10 games, including an impressive comeback victory against Miami and a thrilling overtime win versus UNLV, and claimed their first Bowl win in six years.⁠ ⁠ Syracuse was led by transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, who set the ACC single-season passing yards record. In 2025, Brown's roster looks different. Out is McCord, in is Notre Dame transfer Steve Angeli. Alongside the new signal caller are two-way freshman phenom Demetres Samuel Jr. and top returning receiver Darrell Gill Jr., each striving for big seasons of their own.⁠ ⁠ The Daily Orange's 2025 Football Guide has all you need to know before Brown and his team try to replicate their previous success this season.
