Syracuse football: four players named to join Fran Brown at ACC Kickoff

On the road to Charlotte

Last week the Syracuse Orange announced which players would be heading to the ACC Kickoff in Charlotte with Fran Brown.

That’s three defensive backs and one of the two transfer quarterbacks competing for the starting job. Initial reaction from some Orange fans was surprise over Collins’ inclusion, but let’s remember that he got to Syracuse in the spring and was named the starter. Stephen Angeli hasn’t had one practice with the team, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s not selected this summer.

The five from Syracuse will be in Charlotte on July 23rd to make the media rounds and you can catch the festivities on the ACC Network.
