In his first season at Syracuse in 2024, new head coach Fran Brown led the Orange to a 10-3 record with a Holiday Bowl win over Washington State. Brown closed his transition recruiting class and his first full recruiting class inside the top 50 of the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.
Looking ahead to the 2026 cycle, Brown is off to a fast start. Already, seven prospects have committed to Syracuse in the 2026 class. Leading the way is Melbourne (Fla.) Central Catholic four-star offensive tackle Javeion Cooper. Other notable 2026 commits include State College (Pa.) Harrisburg three-star running back D’Antae Sheffey, Baltimore St. Frances Academy three-star linebacker Maurice Medley and Middletown (Del.) three-star receiver BJ Garrett.
