## Resource

Syracuse Orange enter the 2026 college football season with hidden gems poised to break out. Are Keyshawn Johnson and Chris D'Appolonia the defensive difference-makers Syracuse needs? Jackson Holzer spotlights Johnson’s FCS dominance at UT Martin and D'Appolonia’s elite coverage skills from Toledo, raising hopes for a revitalized linebacker corps under Vince Kehres. On offense, the search for new playmakers heats up as Darien Williams and Tyshawn Russell fight for key roles amid an open competition at wide receiver, especially with Calvin Russell sidelined. Can one seize the opportunity in Jeff Nixon’s pass-heavy scheme with Steve Angeli healthy at quarterback? Plus, Jamie Tremble’s move from tight end to linebacker makes him a true wild card with boom-or-bust potential on defense. Don’t miss this essential rundown of Syracuse Football sleepers and position battles as the Orange look to surprise in the ACC.
