Steve Angeli Back and Burning | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Steve Angeli made a jaw-dropping return from a year-long Achilles injury, torching the field in Syracuse’s season opener with 260+ yards and three touchdowns—looking like he never missed a beat. After a cautious start, he unleashed big plays, including clutch TDs under pressure and a heroic recovery after a brutal hit that had the stadium on edge. His coach admitted to praying before checking on him, but Angeli’s grit—blocking for a running back on a TD—proved his leadership and toughness. With just five college starts under his belt, Coach Brown kept him in to build confidence against a shaky offensive line. Angeli felt zero pressure, just pure joy to be back with his team—and this win marks Syracuse’s first over 20 points since his injury. The ACC challenge looms, but right now? He’s back, healthy, and unstoppable. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
