The recent win over the Clemson Tigers further boosted what has been an impressive season so far for the Syracuse Orange. However, the latest news regarding Steve Angeliâs health could significantly alter head coach Fran Brownâs plans moving forward.
According to the latest reports, the talented quarterback tore his Achilles in his most recent appearance, meaning he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Itâs undoubtedly a devastating blow for the program.
The news was confirmed by college football insider Pete Thamel, who shared further details about this tough setback for Brownâs team via his official account on X (formerly Twitter).

Who will replace Steve Angeli?
Syracuse football is turning to Rickie Collins to take the reins of the offense after starting quarterback Steve Angeli suffered a significant injury against Clemson. Head coach Fran Brown confirmed that Angeli will be âout for a long time,â making Collins the likely choice to step in as the teamâs new signal-caller.
Collins, a transfer from LSU, had previously been in a tight battle with Angeli for the starting job during fall camp. While Angeli ultimately won the position, Brown consistently emphasized that he was one play away from being in the game.
