Future prospects for Rickie Collins following the loss of his starting position
Syracuse University's football team has confirmed Notre Dame transfer Steve Angeli as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. Coach Fran Brown believes that Angeli is the best fit for the team, having won the quarterback battle against LSU transfer Rickie Collins Jr. during camp.
Angeli's selection is largely due to his impressive college career and quick adaptation to Syracuse's offensive system. With experience in 21 games and notable high-pressure appearances, including the College Football Playoff semifinal, Angeli has demonstrated poise and accuracy. In his college career, he completed 72.5% of his passes for 772 yards and 10 touchdowns with only one interception.
The familiarity with the coaching staff, particularly with quarterback coach Nunzio Campanile, who is the brother of Angeli's high school coach, Vito Campanile, has also played a significant role in his integration into the team.
Syracuse's offensive system led the nation in passing last season, and with returning key playmakers and new offensive line and receiver talent, the coaching staff shows confidence in Angeli maintaining the high-powered passing attack. This confidence is further supported by Angeli's inclusion on the 2025 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List, reflecting his potential and national recognition.
It is important to note that the reason for Syracuse's interest in a low-graded offensive player from Florida State's team is not specified in the article.
Angeli's starting position is not shared with any other quarterback on Syracuse's depth chart, and there is no uncertainty about how long he will hold the position beyond the Aug. 30 opener against Tennessee. This decision has been made ahead of their opener, ensuring stability and continuity for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
