Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Syracuse Orange football’s secondary could be among the ACC’s best in 2026. With dynamic cornerback duo Demetrius Samuel and Chris Peal returning, expectations are sky-high—both project as future NFL prospects, and Peal stands out as a possible first-round pick. But does Syracuse have enough depth behind its stars to anchor one of the nation’s top defensive backfields?

The conversation focused on projected starters Braheem Long Jr. and Cornell Perry, potential breakout candidate Tedarius Hughes, and transfer additions like Nazir Ward. A key theme that emerged was the secondary’s high ceiling—with elite coaching from Perry Eliano and a chance to benefit from an improved pass rush. The discussion explored lingering questions about proven production behind the top corners and whether this unit’s average floor gives Syracuse a reliable foundation. Can the Orange secondary realize its full potential and help drive a breakout campaign in the ACC?
