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.
Up next is…
Name: Luis Puente
Position: Linebacker
Year: Redshirt Freshman
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 185 lbs.
Hometown: Bradenton, FL
High School/Previous College: IMG Academy
2024 stats: N/A — did not appear in any games
2025 projections: Syracuse has plenty of young talent in its linebacker depth chart, but it’s more likely Puente will stay on the sidelines and get another year of development in.
How’d he get here?: Appears to have joined the team as a walk-on last fall.
What’d recruiting sites say?: N/A
Winners Get Washed: Brickell — the obvious choice given the Florida connection.
