Ashley Wenskoski sits down with "the king of New Jersey high school football!" Bergen Catholic High School head coach Vito Campanile joins us to break down QB Steve Angeli's transfer from Notre Dame to Syracuse. Campanile served as Angeli's high school coach and is the brother of SU quarterbacks coach Nunzio Campanile.

When did Angeli decide to leave the Irish? Why was Syracuse the right fit for him? What will he bring to the Orange offense? And did Fran Brown guarantee him the starting job ahead of Rickie Collins?

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski react to the SHOCKING news out of Syracuse football today. Wide Receiver Trebor Peña is entering the transfer portal after 5 seasons with Syracuse. Peña led the team last season with 941 yards and 9 touchdowns. The 2024 All-ACC wide receiver was named a captain by Head Coach Fran Brown in December and was the only non-quarterback to get a non-contact jersey this Spring.

Peña is expected to be one of the most coveted wide receivers in the transfer portal market. How does this affect Syracuse football? Was Peña's decision financial based or something more?
