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: Terrance Johnson
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 190 lbs
Hometown: Hollywood, FL
High School: American Heritage
2025 stats: Had 11 interceptions for the Florida State Champions. Was named Broward County 4A-1A Defensive Player of the Year.
2026 projections: Johnson’s one of those players who might surpass his ranking. He was a productive player in a tough football league and has the size for the ACC. Makes you wonder why he seemed to fly under the radar…
How’d he get here?: Other offers included UCF and Oregon State, but Johnson signed with the Orange in February
What’d recruiting sites say?: Three stars and ranked as a top 100 safety in the class.

Interesting nugget o’interest: Syracuse fans should be familiar with American Heritage as that’s where Oronde Gadsden II played before he joined the Orange.
