It’s time to start preparing for 2024 Syracuse Orange Football season. We’re going through the roster to look at each Syracuse player, as we’ll be seeing a lot of new faces as we kick off the Fran Brown era.
Next comes…
Name: Justus Ross-Simmons
Position: Wide receiver
Year: Junior
Height: 1.90m
Weight: 212 pounds
Hometown: Rochester, New York
Secondary school: Inglewood (California)
Previous College: State of Colorado
Statistics for 2023: 45 receptions, 724 receiving yards and three touchdowns for the Rams.
Forecasts for 2024: Behind Gadsden, Ross-Simmons has a real chance to finish second in receiving yards for the Orange. His size and experience make the CSU transfer a formidable threat from the outside, and he should put up better numbers in all three categories at SU.
How did he get here?: Joined the Orange in late April after receiving a ton of interest from other programs, including Alabama, Penn State, Florida and South Carolina.
What do the recruitment sites say?: A unanimously recognized three-star prospect coming out of the transfer portal, Ross-Simmons earned three stars from ESPN and 247Sports and two from Rivals coming out of high school.

Interesting nugget: Before his senior year of high school, Ross-Simmons and his mother moved across the country from Rochester to California to get Justus an athletic scholarship. After playing football and basketball for the Sentinels, he received college offers from CSU and Nevada.
