It’s time to start preparing for the 2026 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 3 of the Fran Brown Era.
Up next is…
Name: Tripp Woody
Position: Kicker
Year: Redshirt Sophomore
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 190 lbs
Hometown: Waxhaw, NC
High School/Previous College: Charlotte Christian/Iowa
2025 stats: Woody made 12 out of 14 field goals last year, with a long of 49 yards
2026 projections: Woody was in a starting
kicking battle last year. That will not be the case this season. For the first time in a bit, Syracuse will have some reliability and comfortability in the kicking game with Woody at the helm for the next couple of years.
How’d he get here?: Woody transferred from Iowa to Syracuse in December of 2024.
What’d recruiting sites say?: Only a two-star rating from 247Sports.
Social Media: @tripp.woody
Interesting nugget o’interest: Unsurprisingly, Woody also played soccer in high school. He also served as his football team’s punter.
