Syracuse football QBs are having a rough go in 2025. But they're high-character guys.

The Syracuse football quarterback room has been front and center among the fan base all season long, and understandably so. First, redshirt junior Steve Angeli, the Notre Dame transfer, was leading the country in passing yards, but he suffered a season-ending injury in the 'Cuse win at Clemson.

Since then, the Orange has lost five straight, with redshirt sophomore Rickie Collins, the LSU transfer, starting four games, followed by walk-on freshman Joseph Filardi this past Friday night in a home setback to North Carolina.

To be fair, Syracuse football's struggles over the past five Atlantic Coast Conference encounters aren't just due to quarterback play, but the QB room is a sore spot during the latter half of the 2025 campaign, without question.
