Special Teams U

Redshirt senior punter Sterling Hofrichter says he wants Syracuse to be known as "Special Teams U." With him, redshirt sophomore kicker Andre Szmyt, sophomore snapper Aaron Bolinsky and redshirt junior holder Nolan Cooney working together, the Orange are well on their way to living up to that moniker.

Hofrichter and Szmyt have been noted as one of the top kicking duos in America, with both being named to the 2019 Preseason All-ACC Team, and Szmyt capturing the Lou Groza Award last year, an honor given to the best college placekicker in the nation.
