Local product, big frame, developmental upside at Syracuse
Matthew Hawn is a Syracuse-born, 6-foot-6, 310-pound offensive lineman who joined the Orange in the 2025 class and is listed on the 2026 roster as a sophomore, with a redshirt/freshman-year development arc that suggests long-term upside.[3][7] In his high school career at Christian Brothers Academy, he was a three-star recruit, a New York top-10 prospect, and didn’t allow a sack as a senior, which hints at balance, length, and steady pass-protection technique.[7] He looks like a fit for teams that value hometown toughness, size, and patience in development more than instant-impact polish.[3][7]
