NO: Syracuse Football Key Players OUT of College Eligibility | Who Fran Brown MUST Replace

Syracuse Orange face major roster turnover, but is a brighter football season ahead with fresh talent on the way? Jackson Holzer examines Syracuse’s latest losses to college eligibility—highlighting the departures of key contributors like Dan Villari, Justus Ross-Simmons, and punter Jack Stonehouse—while questioning just how irreplaceable these players really are after a disappointing 2025 campaign.

Key points include the impact of losing three starting offensive linemen, the underwhelming production from the outgoing defensive line, and the arrival of promising recruits such as five-star wide receiver Calvin Russell and top-rated punter Jimmy Gregg. With the transfer portal looming and internal options emerging, Jackson Holzer asks: Will the Orange target major upgrades, or can new faces step up and fill the void? Don’t miss this breakdown of Syracuse football’s offseason crossroads and what it means for their path back to ACC relevance.
