2025 NFL Draft Prospects: Tight End

11/30/24: In 2024, Loveland has 56 catches for 582 yards and five touchdowns. He missed some time with an injury, but has returned to the field and has played better than he did before the injury.

6/4/24: Loveland made a lot of clutch catches during his sophomore season in 2023, hauling in 45 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns. On top of being a receiving threat, he flashed some ability to contribute as a blocker. As a freshman, Loveland notched 16 catches for 235 yards and two touchdowns.

11/30/24: Taylor has 52 receptions for 518 yards and two touchdowns. He has played well as a receiver and showed the ability to help in pass protection and block the c-gap. Taylor looks like a potential three-down starter for the NFL.

6/4/24: Taylor was an instant contributor as a freshman and provided some clutch plays for the Tigers. In his debut season, he had 38 receptions for 414 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor has a good natural build to go along with impressive speed and athleticism. In 2023 he had 36 catches for 348 yards and a touchdown as the Tigers featured their receivers in the passing attack.

11/30/24: Warren is a big-bodied tight end who has shown some receiving ability in the past two seasons. In 2024, he has 75 catches for 910 yards and five touchdowns. The previous season he had 34 receptions for 422 yards and seven touchdowns. The 6-foot-6, 257-pounder has the size to be Y (blocking) tight end as well as contribute as a receiver.

11/30/24: Velling has 31 receptions for 334 yards.

6/4/24: In 2023 Velling was a nice contributor for the Beavers. Velling flashed some receiving ability catching 29 passes for 438 yards with eight touchdowns. Velling will need to show that he can pass protect and block the c-gap to rise in 2024.

11/30/24: Ten months after a torn ACL, Evans barely played in the season opener against Texas A&M, logging only ten snaps. His workload increased in the following games, and he has 16 receptions for 133 yards thus far. In 2023, Evans led Notre Dame with 29 catches for 422 yards and a touchdown before suffering the injury in October.

11/30/24: Ferguson has been a good contributor for the Ducks in 2024, hauling in 31 receptions for 442 yards with a touchdown. Ferguson has been very consistent over his four-year career at Oregon. In 2022 (32-391-5) and 2023 (42-414-6) he was a good contributor through the air. If Ferguson excels in the post-season he has the potential to rise after showing steady receiving production in college.

11/30/24: Hawes was not a prolific receiver in 2024, but he was a good enough blocker to earn an invitation to the Senior Bowl. In 2024, Hawes has 11 receptions for 142 yards. Hawes needs to show receiving ability in Mobile to help his draft stock.

11/30/24: Lachey has 25 catches for 218 yards.

6/4/24: Lachey was off to a great start in 2023 before going out for the season with a broken leg. He finished his abbreviated year with 10 receptions for 131 yards. While paired with Sam LaPorta in 2022, Lachey contributed well, recording 28 catches for 398 yards and four touchdowns.

Lachey is a big tight end who is a tough and physical blocker at the point of attack while also being a functional receiver. He needs to put together a healthy season before going pro. Lachey looks like he has the potential to be a starting Y tight end in the NFL.

11/30/24: Morales has 22 catches for 260 yards and five touchdowns.

6/4/24: Morales transferred to Boston College from North Carolina after the 2023 season. With the Tar Heels last season, he recorded 11 catches for 158 yards. Morales contributed as a receiver for Drake Maye in 2022 with 29 receptions for 358 yards and four touchdowns. In 2021, he recorded 24 catches for 220 yards and five touchdowns.

11/30/24: Arroyo has 26 receptions for 482 yards and five touchdowns.

6/4/23: Arroyo had an ACL tear on September 22, 2022, and suffered a setback in the 2023 preseason. He didn’t play until late November and had one catch for 11 yards. Arroyo has some physical talent, but he has yet to break out.

11/30/24: Delp has 14 receptions for 192 yards and three touchdowns.

6/4/24: While Brock Bowers was the star, Delp had a breakout year for the Bulldogs in 2023. During Bowers injury, Delp filled in well and flashed in other games with Bowers. Delp totaled 24 catches for 284 yards and three touchdowns. His production should rise as the feature tight end with Bowers in the NFL.

11/30/24: Briningstool has 38 catches for 403 yards with five touchdowns.

6/4/23: Briningstool had a productive 2023 season catching 50 passes for 498 yards and five touchdowns. Briningstool has good height, but he could stand to get stronger as a blocker for the NFL.

11/30/24: Dippre has 16 catches for 192 yards.

6/4/23: Dippre played in nine games in 2022 catching 11 passes for 187 yards. He showed more ability in 2022 when he caught 30 passes for 314 yards and three touchdowns while playing at Maryland.

11/30/24: Hansen has 10 receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown.

6/4/23: Hansen has a good skill set and could be a player to watch in 2024. He had 12 catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Hansen is a big tight end that could be a potential Y tight end for the next level.

11/30/24: Boardingham has 18 catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns.

6/4/23: Boardingham flashed some receiving ability as a redshirt freshman and he could be a riser with his ability to make plays in the passing game. In 2023 Boardingham caught 26 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Boardingham has to show the ability to pass protect and block the c-gap in order to be a rising prospect for the NFL.
