Syracuse Football 2026 Preview

Syracuse has experienced some real highs and lows over the last two seasons. They won 10 games in Fran Brown's first season, and then finished the season 3-9 in 2025 after starting the year 3-1. Syracuse is hoping its third season will look more like 2024, and there are reasons to be optimistic. The Syracuse offense looked close to the high-powered offense it had in 2024 through the first four games of 2025, but once Steve Angeli went down with an injury in that fourth game things fell apart. Angeli is healthy once again and ready to start the season for Syracuse. The defensive side of the football is getting a major lift from new defensive coordinator Vince Kehres. Kehres comes to the Orange from Toledo where he had the fourth best scoring defense and second best total defense in all the FBS in 2025. Watch as ACC Digital Network's Evan Leplar and Wes Bryant interview Head Coach Fran Brown, quarterback Steve Angeli, and cornerback/wide receiver Demetres Samuel Jr. to break down the outlook for the Orange in this 2026 Syracuse football preview.
