TL;DR

  • Steve Angeli, formerly of Notre Dame, transferred to Syracuse under Fran Brown.
  • Angeli will attend Syracuse's game at Notre Dame but will not play due to injury.
  • He tore his Achilles early in the season, ending his participation for the year.
  • Angeli is expected to recover and play for Syracuse next season.

Last season, Steve Angeli delivered several significant plays for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish relied on his contributions to reach the College Football Playoff championship game.

Following that year, he departed South Bend, entering the transfer portal. He opted to join Syracuse and play for The Orange under head coach Fran Brown.

SU is heading to Notre Dame this Saturday, and Angeli is confirmed to attend. However, he won't be participating in the game.

What was shaping up to be a remarkable season for Angeli in his new uniform has unfortunately become a source of disappointment.

Is Steve Angeli not playing today?

Angeli isn't playing for Syracuse on Saturday, or the rest of the season, because he's injured.

He tore his Achilles during the Orange's win at Clemson early in the season.

Prior to this, Angeli had successfully completed 62.8% of his throws, accumulating 1,317 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns while throwing just two interceptions.

Angeli is slated to be back for Syracuse next season, he told reporters this week.

Syracuse is only 3-7 but likely would've had a much better season if Angeli stayed healthy.

The expectation is that Angeli will recover in time for the next season's commencement, enabling the Orange to achieve a more successful campaign.

However, Syracuse enters Saturday's game in South Bend as significant underdogs, primarily due to Angeli's injury, which prevents him from playing against his previous team.
