On November 3, 2028 quarterback Zymere Weaver reflected on a weekend visit to Syracuse, where he watched the Orange defeat No. 19 SMU, 30-27, at the JMA Wireless Dome. It was his first time experiencing a Syracuse game day, though he had previously visited campus, including for spring practice in March.
Weaver praised the atmosphere and Syracuse’s performance, particularly the team’s discipline and the two turnovers it forced. He said he enjoyed watching the teams compete and called the game a great one to see. The win was Syracuse’s first against a ranked opponent since 2024.
He also singled out quarterback Steve Angeli, who threw 21 completions on 34 attempts, gaining 200 yards and one touchdown, and scored another touchdown on a run. Weaver praised Angeli’s composure and timing, and said the rushing score helped set the tone.
During the visit, Weaver spoke with Orange staff members Fran Brown, Sean Ryan, and Mike Gillespie. They asked about his season and discussed his midseason film. Weaver said there was less time to talk because the coaches were focused on the game.
Weaver has led St. Thomas Aquinas in Edison, New Jersey, to a 6-3 record heading into the playoffs. Describing himself as a playmaking quarterback, he said he can contribute as a passer and runner. He called the visit great and said, “I can see myself playing there one day for sure.”
