Syracuse freshman DL DeAngelo Thompson brings size, disruption, and early-game experience
DeAngelo Thompson is a **young, developing defensive lineman** at Syracuse who already saw the field in four games as a redshirt year freshman in 2025, which signals early trust from the staff. Listed at **6-foot-3, 235 pounds**, he brings a workable frame, and his high-school résumé adds intrigue: a **three-star recruit**, Miami Northwestern captain, and part of a **national championship team**. For a team, the appeal is upside—he profiles as a high-motor, projectable defender with room to add strength and polish before he becomes a true impact piece.
