Manhattan’s breakout 6-foot-8 freshman became an all-conference frontcourt engine
In the 2024-25 season, Will Sydnor emerged as one of Manhattan’s most important players, averaging 13.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 29.5 minutes while earning MAAC Rookie of the Year and All-MAAC Second Team honors. He gives you size, activity and real two-way value: he can score efficiently enough to punish mismatches, crash the glass, and protect the rim. The bigger sell is his competitive edge—coaches clearly trusted him right away, and that kind of freshman impact usually screams long-term starter, not just nice story.
