Syracuse, N.Y. — The date for Syracuse football’s annual spring game has been set.
The Orange begins practice next month under first-year coach Fran Brown and concludes with the spring game April 20.
The NCAA allots 15 practices in the spring. The Orange is scheduled to start practice March 21.
The team’s practice schedule has circulated on social media as the program pushes for visitors — both alumni and recruits — to drop by and observe.
The Orange has one of the highest rates in returning production, according to a formula cooked up by ESPN’s Bill Connelly. That usually correlates to improved performance.
Syracuse is coming off a 6-7 season in which it fired eighth-year coach Dino Babers.
The school hired Georgia defensive backs coach Fran Brown on Nov. 28, and an influx of transfer acquisitions, including Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord, has helped reshape the 2024 roster.
The Orange also returns multi-year starters Marlowe Wax and Justin Barron on defense and Oronde Gadsden II, who earned preseason All-America recognition last year before suffering a season-ending foot injury that requires a lengthy rehab timeline.
The NCAA’s recruiting calendar is in a dead period through March 3, meaning no in-person recruiting contact is permitted on or off campus.
A second signing window opens Wednesday.
Starting March 4, recruits can visit campus and on-campus recruiting is permitted through April 14. Off-campus recruiting resumes April 15 through May 25.
