Former LSU QB Rickie Collins loses Syracuse job in gut-wrenching fashion

Syracuse has named its starting quarterback for the 2025 season, and it's not Rickie Collins. After transferring out of LSU following the 2024 season, Collins went north to Syracuse and was named the starter in the spring. Now, his job just got taken.

Syracuse has named Notre Dame transfer Steve Angeli as the starting quarterback for the Orange. He'll get the starting nod in Syracuse's season-opener against No. 24 Tennessee in Atlanta on Aug. 30.
