"Freshman Phenom: Antoine Deslauriers – Syracuse's Rising LB Star"

Описание: Antoine Deslauriers is a standout linebacker for the Syracuse Orange in NCAA college football.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the 6'1" (185 cm), 235 lb (107 kg) athlete began his football journey in his home country before transferring to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Georgia for his final high school years. There, he emerged as a dominant force, earning first-team all-conference and all-state honors while leading his team to a state championship in 2024. His senior season stats were impressive: 135 tackles, 21 tackles for loss (TFLs), and 4 sacks. Rated as a three-star recruit and ESPN's No. 18 linebacker nationally in the 2025 class, he drew interest from numerous Power Five programs but ultimately committed to Syracuse.
As a true freshman in 2025, Deslauriers quickly earned a starting role and made an immediate impact on the Orange defense. He finished the season with 60 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, 1 sack, 2 forced fumbles, 2 pass breakups, and strong run defense grades (per Pro Football Focus rankings among Syracuse defenders). His performance earned him multiple national recognitions, including selections to the FWAA Freshman All-America Team, On3 True Freshman All-America Team, and at least one additional freshman All-American honor—making him one of the most decorated first-year players in the ACC.
Known for his relentless work ethic, discipline, and "grind" mentality, Deslauriers frequently shares training content on social media (Instagram: @antoinedeslauriers__, X: @AntoineDeslau05), emphasizing consistency, purpose, and building a legacy. With his physical tools, production as a rookie, and high-upside trajectory, he's viewed as a rising star with bright potential for future seasons at Syracuse and beyond. 🍊💪
