Cole Weaver brings proven size and a ready-made WR1 profile to Syracuse
In the 2026 season, Syracuse’s Cole Weaver looks like one of the safest bets in the receiver room: a 6-foot-3 transfer who started at Miami (Ohio), led the team with 45 catches, and is expected to open as a starter for the Orange. He stands out for experience, red-zone usefulness, and a reliable third-down target profile rather than flashy speed, which makes him a strong fit if a team needs a steady chain-mover with size. The main caveat: he arrives from the MAC, so the jump in competition will test whether his production translates cleanly.
