Syracuse names Steve Angeli starting QB vs Tennessee football in 2025 opener
Steve Angeli, a Notre Dame transfer, earned the starting role after narrowly beating LSU transfer Rickie Collins, bringing veteran experience to Syracuse's offense, coach Fran Brown said.
- Steve Angeli, who transferred from Notre Dame, has been selected to lead Syracuse as their quarterback in the season opener against Tennessee on August 30 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
- After deciding to leave Notre Dame in search of a better starting role, Angeli joined Syracuse and secured the quarterback position over LSU transfer Rickie Collins.
- In 2023, Angeli appeared in 21 games primarily as a backup for Notre Dame, finishing the season with a completion rate of 77%, throwing for a total of 504 yards, seven touchdowns, and just a single interception.
- He will face off against Tennessee’s signal-caller Joey Aguilar, who secured the starting position following the spring, while Tennessee’s defense was among the top-ranked units in college football last season.
- This start positions Angeli to replace record-setting Kyle McCord and lead Syracuse's offense, while Syracuse visits Angeli’s former team Notre Dame later this year on November 22.
