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: Ziyyon Bredell
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’
Weight: 185 lbs.
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
High School/Previous College: Abraham Lincoln
2024 stats: Played defensive back and wide receiver. Also ran track in high school and has a reported 4.4 40 time.
2025 projections:
Fran Brown loves to grab players with speed at his wide receiver/corner back spots. Bredell is going to have a tough time working into the two-deep this Fall, but he should be in the mix for special teams snaps while he acclimates to college football.
How’d he get here?: Had a solid offer list including Pitt, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and BC.
What’d recruiting sites say?: Consensus three-star and ranked a top 30 player in Pennsylvania.
Winners Get Washed: Blue Cedar and Cypress from Cremo– when you’ve got a player who was able to beat Tyreek Hill in a 1-on-1 rep they need a body wash with a “citrus zest”
Interesting nugget o’interest: Lincoln HS is also the alma mater of Sylvester Stallone….and now you’re humming the theme from Rocky.
