Syracuse Football's Defensive Depth: Locks to Start & Positional Battles | Syracuse Orange Podcast

Locked On Syracuse - Daily Podcast On Syracuse Orange Football & Basketball

Syracuse Orange Football's 2025 defense should have plenty of competition. Fran Brown's three key leaders project to be Duce Chestnut, Devin Grant and Maraad Watson. Defensive Coordinator Elijah Robinson will have to decide who starts for the Orange along the defensive front. Plus, Syracuse could look to add another defensive back and middle linebacker in the Spring Portal window. Finally, Kyle McCord, Oronde Gadsden, LeQuint Allen, Fadil Diggs, and Alijah Clark were invited to the 2025 NFL Combine.

Jackson Holzer talks about Syracuse's defense in 2025 and the players invited to the combine on this edition of the Locked On Syracuse Podcast.
