Lots of new faces this summer, but he’s not one
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
Up first is….
Name: Elijah Fuentes-Cundiff
Position: Defensive line
Year: Redshirt Junior

High School/Previous College: Cardinal Hayes
2023 stats:
Fuentes-Cundiff appeared in nine games last season and recorded six tackles and one pass break-up.
2024 projections:
The switch to a 4-3 defense should lead to more playing time for Fuentes-Cundiff this season. He’ll need to show he can hold up against the run to stay in the interior line rotation as the Orange have some new bodies joining the group this summer.
How’d he get here?: Chose the Orange over offers from BC, Duke, Wake Forest and Rutgers
What’d recruiting sites say?: Three stars from 247 and ESPN
