Transferring closer to home for one final season in Orange and Blue

It’s time to start preparing for the 2024 Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get to know a lot of new faces to kick off the Fran Brown Era.

Next up is…

Name: Fadil Diggs

Position: Defensive Line

Year: Senior

Height: 6’5”

Weight: 260 lbs

Hometown: East Camden, New Jersey

High School: Woodrow Wilson

Previous College: Texas A&M

2023 stats: 4.0 sacks, 36 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries and two pass breakups for the Aggies.

2024 projections: Diggs emerged as one of A&M’s most reliable lineman a year ago, making him a valuable addition out of the transfer portal for Fran Brown. He’ll plug right into the holes left by Caleb Okechukwu and Kevon Darton and will be the primary edge rusher for the Orange. Likewise, the senior has an excellent opportunity to lead SU in sacks.

How’d he get here?: A top-10 edge rusher and four-star recruit in the transfer portal, Diggs committed to the Orange last December. He committed to Texas A&M out of high school over many offers, including from Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Penn State.

What’d recruiting sites say?: Four stars across the board, both as a transfer and high-school prospect.

Interesting nugget: Diggs’ brother, Fatim, also committed to the Orange over the winter and convinced his big brother to follow suit. Fadil also has great chemistry with former Aggies coach and current Syracuse DC Elijah Robinson, who both were edge rushers at Woodrow Wilson High School in NJ.
