## Resource

Syracuse Orange secure a major recruiting win as Braylon Otis flips from Boston College, bolstering Fran Brown’s 2027 class. Can local talent and strategic flips keep Syracuse football on an upward trajectory in the ACC recruiting wars? The conversation focused on the biggest questions facing Syracuse heading into the 2026 season: Steve Angeli’s health at quarterback, replacing five-star receiver Calvin Russell after a torn Achilles, and whether new defensive coordinator Vince Kehres can revitalize a struggling defense. One concept discussed was the potential of the secondary, led by Chris Peal and Demetres Samuel, and if it can become a strength for the Orange. The discussion explored depth concerns at key positions and what it will take for the Orange to return to bowl eligibility. Will Syracuse’s revamped roster and coaching staff spark a breakthrough year, or will lingering injuries and unanswered questions hold them back?
