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: David Clement
Position: Tight End
Year: Senior
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 260 lbs.
Hometown: Albany, NY
High School: CBA Albany
2025 stats:
Appeared in all 12 games, making five starts. Had 3 receptions for 38 yards on the season.
2026 projections:
Clement is going to see a lot of time
as the “blocking” tight end. It will be interesting to see if the Orange go with two tight end sets often this season, but Clement will get a lot of snaps. Will his production in the passing game improve? He’s got the size to be a red zone threat.
How’d he get here?:
Syracuse was his only official offer.
What’d recruiting sites say?:
Three stars across the board. Top 10 player in NY in his class.
