Syracuse Special Teams Revamp | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Syracuse’s special teams are poised for a major upgrade this season, with new coach Alex Bayer bringing his proven track record of developing elite returners to unlock the team’s athletic talent. Freshman punter Jimmy Gregg carries heavy expectations to lead the punt game right out of the gate, while veteran kicker Woody returns with improved range as the focus. Shay Barker, another freshman, could make waves with his powerful leg on kickoffs — even targeting 50+ yard attempts. Fran Brown Jr. handles snapping duties, backed up by Tim Schwerha. The real story? The return game — where contenders like Davien Kerr and Demetres Samuel Jr. battle for top spot, hoping to deliver explosive plays that shift momentum.
