Football, fútbol. Same thing for this native of Chicagoland.
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: Jan Bogdan
Position: Placekicker
Year: Unknown
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 155 lbs.
Hometown: Northbrook, IL
High School/Previous College: Glenbrook North High School
2024 stats: N/A
2025 projections: Syracuse’s kicking game last year was certainly shaky, but with Jadyn Oh and Jackson Kennedy both on the team, you’d imagine Bogdan will start off as a “break glass in case of emergency” option, especially in his first season.
How’d he get here?: Appears to have joined the team as a walk-on this Spring.
What’d recruiting sites say?: N/A
Winners Get Washed: Huron – “product performance over everything.” That’s the key to success for every kicker.
Interesting nugget o’interest: It seems Bogdan will be bringing some #Fútbol experience to the Orange, playing and starting as a midfielder for Glenbrook North High School’s soccer team. He also was a member of Syracuse’s club soccer team in 2023.
Let’s get a look at ya: Hudl tape, but the fútbol edition!
