Phoenix Henriquez joins Syracuse Orange as a freshman wide receiver

Syracuse Orange football prepares for the 2026 season with the addition of freshman wide receiver Phoenix Henriquez. Henriquez, hailing from Smyrna, Delaware, was a standout at Smyrna High School, earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors in Delaware for the 2025 season. He recorded 21 touchdowns and averaged over 100 yards from scrimmage. Though his competition for playing time begins as he joins the roster late, expectations remain high for his potential. Henriquez originally chose Syracuse over other programs including Maryland and UConn.
