More competition in the kicking department
It’s time to start preparing for the 2025 Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get to know a lot of new faces for Year 2 of the Fran Brown Era.
Up next is…
Name: Tripp Woody
Position: Kicker
Year: Redshirt Freshman
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 197 lbs.
Hometown: Waxhaw, NC
High School/Previous College: Charlotte Christian/Iowa
2024 stats (Iowa): Didn’t attempt a kick last season.
2025 projections: With Jackson Kennedy’s eligibility still up in the air, Woody is firmly in the mix to be Syracuse’s starting kicker. His primary competition is Jadyn Oh, and it’s anyone’s guess who is going to get first dibs at being the starting Orange kicker.
How’d he get here?: Transferred from Iowa. Didn’t have any other known offers out of high school.
What’d recruiting sites say?: Out of the portal, a three-star target by On3.
Winners Get Washed: NIVEA Men Cool Kick Shower Gel – In order to grab the starting kicker job, Woody will need to stay cool when kicking.
