I hate the Aggies, but he's going to move up boards as we get closer to the Draft. Combine will be huge for him, obviously, but right now he's top 100.
He's not LVE (although we didn't even know who LVE was this time last year), but he does have a small part of that factor. This was his 1 year actually playing, and he was one of, if not the most, productive TEs in the country. The Iowa guys get a pass because they split production, but this guy really only got on the field this year and was incredibly productive. It wasn't a small school either, it was the SEC with a new coach that had tough games. The A&M scheme helped, but a lot of it was NFL type production, catches in small windows, breaks out of routes with defenders, etc. For a first year player at an SEC program, he blocked pretty well too.
I'm not trying to use hyperbole to build him up, but it's something that stands out when evaluating prospects and their potential. He's not Hockenson, Irv Smith, or Fant as they are much more polished, and Irv Smith is probably going to blow up the Combine, but teams are going to be paying attention to that. You also have to account for the fact that if he returned to school, he'd be one of the top TE prospects in the country going into the 2019 CFB season.
Right now I don't know one way or another, but a good Combine and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he breaks top 60. Teams are really going to like him with his production and intangibles ("want to" with athletic guys that produce is an extremely underrated aspect in drafting forums that successful teams evaluate seriously, which he seems to possess) he's more athletic than Kaden Smith but if he's truly a round 2 type player will be determined at the Combine.
This isn't an endorsement, I just post a lot more in the Draft Zone in the offseason because I'm a draft nerd. I enjoy all the shenanigans of the draft probably much more than I should.
