Oluwafunto Akinshilo Joins Syracuse

Six-foot-five, 325-pound redshirt senior Oluwafunto Akinshilo brings Nigerian grit and UCLA experience to Syracuse’s offensive line, ready to anchor backups and special teams. A three-star transfer who played center and guard at UCLA, he’s the lone offensive lineman joining the Orange this season—and already knows new OC Juan Castillo. With roots in Leuzinger High (alma mater of Russell Westbrook), Akinshilo’s journey—from El Camino to Iowa State to Syracuse—adds flavor to a roster hungry for depth and versatility.
