Cornell freshman Ben Hockman brings speed, pedigree, and upside to the Big Red WR room
Ben Hockman is a 2026 Cornell freshman wide receiver from Seattle with a strong prep pedigree, track-speed background, and a frame that fits the college game at 6-foot-1, 181 pounds. Cornell lists him as a four-year wideout and two-time offensive team player of the year, plus a sprinter who earned multiple state-qualifier honors, which hints at burst and vertical juice. He’s early in his college career and doesn’t yet have season stats, so the appeal is projection: a high-upside, explosive athlete who could develop into a real playmaker if he translates that speed into route polish and consistency.
