Syracuse’s tough, team-first tight end with a captain’s edge
In the 2001 season, Graham Manley was a 6-foot-4, 255-pound senior tight end for Syracuse who totaled 4 catches for 33 yards and a touchdown, but his value went well beyond the box score.[4] He was named to the AFCA Good Works Team and served as an Orange captain, which points to a high-character, locker-room stabilizer who brings leadership, community presence, and buy-in to the program.[7] If you want a dependable, physical TE who helps culture as much as production, Manley fits the brief.
