Rankings from CFP Rankings |
The 2024 Syracuse Orange football team represent Syracuse University as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Orange play their home games at the JMA Wireless Dome, competing as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They are led by first-year head coach Fran Brown. The Orange are in their 123rd season overall and their twelfth as a member of the ACC.[1]
On November 2, the Orange defeated Virginia Tech for their sixth win, securing bowl eligibility for the third season in a row. This is the first time the Orange have been bowl eligible for three consecutive seasons since the program played in five straight bowls from 1995 through 1999.[2]
Offseason
[edit]Preseason
[edit]Dino Babers, who coached the team from 2016 to 2023, was fired from his role as head coach at Syracuse on November 19, 2023, one game before the end of the 2023 regular season. Babers had just two winning seasons during his eight years at Syracuse.[3] He moved to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Arizona. First year offensive coordinator Jason Beck took the same position at New Mexico.[4] First year defensive coordinator Rocky Long was hired as a defensive analyst at Fort Lewis College.[5]
On November 28, 2023, Fran Brown was named the 31st head coach of the Orange.[6][7] Brown was named #1 national recruiter by 247Sports in 2023,[8] and previously served as the defensive backs coach at Georgia, Baylor, Rutgers, and Temple. His deep recruiting ties in South Jersey, one of Syracuse's primary recruiting grounds, were cited as a major reason for his hiring.[9][10]
Jeff Nixon and Elijah Robinson were hired as OC and DC, respectively.[11][12]
The Syracuse Orange were ranked 16th nationally with 77% of their production returning, according to data compiled by ESPN’s Bill Connelly.[13]
Team departures
[edit]Over the course of the off-season, Syracuse lost over 35 players to graduation and to the transfer portal (29). No Orange players were selected in the 2024 NFL draft,[14] but three former Orange were selected in the first round of the 2024 CFL Draft.[15]
Recruiting
[edit]Syracuse's 2024 class consisted of 25 signees.[16] The class was ranked eighth in the ACC and 37th best overall by the 247Sports Composite.[17]
