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: Alex Haskell
Position: Defensive Line
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 300 lbs.
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
High School: St. Joseph’s Prep
2025 stats:
Had 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a blocked kick last season.
2026 projections:
Haskell’s a player to keep an eye on as we get further into the season. He’s starting behind some others but it wouldn’t be a shock to see him in the defensive line rotation in the second half of the year.
How’d he get here?:
Originally committed to Penn State but chose to come to Syracuse after James Franklin was fired. Also had offers from Duke, Michigan and Ohio State.
What’d recruiting sites say?:
Four stars from 247 and three stars from Rivals and ESPN. Rated a top-25 player in Pennsylvania.

Interesting nugget o’interest:
You probably know that Kylc McCord is an alum of St. Joseph’s Prep, but did you know that it’s also the alma mater of Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski
