The competition between two college transfers for the starting quarterback position at Syracuse football for the upcoming campaign was a "complete battle," head coach Fran Brown says.
News broke on Monday that Brown would be rolling with former Notre Dame signal-caller Steve Angeli as the Orange's QB1 in the 2025 season. ESPN's Pete Thamel broke this story on Monday morning, and I confirmed it with a source. SU Athletics also put out a press release on Angeli being tabbed as the starting quarterback via cuse.com in the late morning on Monday.
In a press conference following a 'Cuse practice on Monday, Brown said he "was up for a long time just trying to figure this out" before he ended up picking the 6-foot-3, 212-pound Angeli, a redshirt junior from Westfield, N.
