Proof that everything is bigger in Texas
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: Byron Washington
Position: Offensive line
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’7”
Weight: 380 lbs.
Hometown: DeSoto, TX
High School/Previous College: Desoto
2024 stats: Redshirt Helped DeSoto to a 2nd-straight State Championship
2025 projections: Washington got to Syracuse in January and was already receiving first-team reps in the spring. The Orange added some more experienced lineman in the portal, but Washington seems like he’ll be in the mix for playing time this Fall.
How’d he get here?: Chose Syracuse over a number of offers including Texas, Oregon, Arizona State, Duke and Baylor.
What’d recruiting sites say?: Three stars all around.
Winners Get Washed: Rustic Strength sounds fitting for anyone the size of Washington. The fact that it’s chemical free and helps keep skin hydrated is an added bonus.
Interesting nugget o’interest: Byron has no active accounts but when you make it here, you’ve made it
