Get to Know Your Orange Man: #43, LS Mike Midkiff
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Name: Mike Midkiff
Position: Long snapper
Year: (Redshirt) freshman
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 206
Hometown: Colorado Springs, Colo.
High School: Air Academy
2020 stats: No appearances in games last year.
2021 projections: Aaron Bolinsky’s pretty entrenched as the long snapper for the Syracuse Orange. So there probably isn’t much of a shot for Midkiff to nab his job barring injury.
How’d he get here?: You can thank Dino Babers’s brother Tracy for making the connection here, since he was Midkiff’s position coach in high school.
What’d recruiting sites say?: Kohl’s Kicking Camp said he was the No. 59 long snapper in the country back in 2019.
