Syracuse QB Steve Angeli Out for Season With Torn Achilles Confirmed by MRI

The MRI result elevates LSU transfer Rickie Collins Jr. to the starting job.

Overview

  • Angeli suffered a non-contact injury in the third quarter at Clemson when his left foot caught in the turf on a scramble.
  • Postgame hopes of a multiweek absence from coach Fran Brown were overturned by testing that confirmed a season-ending Achilles tear.
  • The Notre Dame transfer leaves ranked No. 2 nationally in passing yards at 1,316 with 10 touchdowns after Syracuse’s 34-21 win moved the team to 3-1.
  • Rickie Collins replaced him and went 3-of-8 for 34 yards and a touchdown, and he is expected to be Syracuse’s starter going forward.
  • Angeli expects to seek a medical redshirt, which would leave him with two more years of eligibility.
