Tripp Woody Steps Up for Syracuse

Tripp Woody, the redshirt sophomore kicker who transferred from Iowa, is poised to take over as Syracuse’s starting kicker in 2026 after a stellar debut season—nailing 12 of 14 field goals, including a 49-yarder. Standing at 5’9” and weighing 190 lbs, Woody wasn’t a highly-rated recruit (just a two-star 247Sports prospect) but proved his worth with accuracy and versatility, even punting in high school. With the coaching staff counting on him to stabilize Syracuse’s special teams, Woody’s opportunity to shine is real—and his story proves that rankings don’t tell the whole tale.
