Syracuse’s high-effort depth receiver with strong academic edge
Ben Brickman’s Syracuse profile shows a compact, resilient wideout at 5-8 and 172 pounds who carved out a role after starting at Hudson Valley Community College, then earning his way onto the Orange roster in 2017. In the 2018 season, he saw game action in wins over UConn and Louisville but did not record stats, which points to more value as a depth piece and practice competitor than a volume producer. His differentiators are toughness, persistence, and academics — he was a four-time Syracuse AD Honor Roll honoree and twice made the ACC Honor Roll — making him the kind of player coaches trust for effort and culture.
