Brian Higgins has covered Syracuse sports for more than two decades and has been watching the Orange his entire life. Beginning in 2004 Brian called Syracuse Men's Lacrosse and Syracuse Women's Basketball games as their radio play-by-play voice for the Syracuse Sports Network from Learfield. Additionally, he was the host and sideline reporter for the Orange Football broadcasts. Three lacrosse national championships and the women's basketball team's shocking run to the 2016 National Title game highlighted his tenure. Then in 2022 Brian shifted lanes to sports talk radio as the host of "The 315 w/Brian Higgins" weekdays in drivetime on ESPN Radio Syracuse. Now "The 315" lives digitally on YouTube, podcasts and social media. Brian currently resides in Minoa with his wife Christina and children Max and Vivian.
