Syracuse football's 2025 season is officially a wash with a losing record guaranteed and no bowl game awaiting the Orange for the first time since 2021. 

It's time to look to the future and three guests join Brent Axe on the latest episode of Syracuse Sports to do so. 

Marcus Benjamin of Rivals updates Axe on WR Calvin Russell and Safety Tedarius Hughes, two of SU's biggest Class of 2026 commits from Miami, and why SU has had success in the fertile recruiting grounds of Florida. 

Chris Carlson of syracuse.com then tells Axe about his conversation with SU 4-star commit DE Kamron Wilson and how he's trying to assure SU fans that he and some of SU's biggest commits will remain loyal to Fran Brown and the Orange and won't flip elsewhere. Brent and Chris also discuss how Syracuse is going to need to adjust its transfer portal strategy 

Finally, Mike McAllister of 247 Sports updates Axe on how SU will close out one of its highest-rated recruiting classes in years, why Fran Brown has been touting that class and if there are any recruiting commits for Syracuse to flip or that could be flipped from Syracuse to another school.
