Like Father Like Son

It’s time to start preparing for the 2025 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 for Year 2 of the Fran Brown Era.

Next up is…

Name: Fran Brown Jr.

Position: Linebacker

Year: Redshirt Sophomore

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 220 lbs.

Hometown: Medford, New Jersey

High School/Previous College: Oconee County/Saint Francis (Pennsylvania)

2024 stats: Appeared in seven games for the Red Flash, recording 33 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, one sack and a fumble recovery. Had a team-high nine tackles in a win over FBS opponent Kent State.

2025 projections: We’ll see how Brown Jr. fares in camp as he will be competing for a spot as a long snapper. If he doesn’t win that job, he’ll most likely get reps on the scout team this year as he adjusts to the new competition.

How’d he get here?: Transferred to the Orange following the 2024 season after two years at Saint Francis (one redshirted). He has three years of eligibility remaining.

What’d recruiting sites say?: Three stars in the transfer portal, two stars out of high school per 247Sports.

Winners Get Washed: Dad’s Minted Shower Gel by Lush — Rumor has it that Fran Brown stumbled upon this soap at Destiny USA and thought it would be a great fragrance for his son.

Interesting nugget o’interest: Brown Jr.’s desire to return to the northeast was one of the driving forces in his father’s decision to leave Georgia for Syracuse, according to an interview from Essentially Sports.
