It’s time to start preparing for the 2026 Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get to know a lot of new faces for Year 3 of the Fran Brown Era.
Up next is…
Name:Phoenix Henriquez
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 205 lbs
Hometown: Smyrna, DE
High School: Smyrna
2025 stats: Gatorade Player of the Year in Delaware. Scored 21 touchdowns while averaging over 100 yards from scrimmage on the season. Had 83 receptions and for his career he scored 44 touchdowns (#Brand)
2026 projections: Henriquez has a lot of potential but he’s getting a late start at cracking the WR rotation this season. It will be interesting to see if he gets a shot at competing for one of the returner positions in camp.
How’d he get here?: Chose the Orange over Maryland, UConn and the Mighty Blue Hens.
What’d recruiting sites say?: Three stars and ranked in the top 10 in Delaware in his class.
