Continue ReadingWith the 2021 season quickly approaching, we’re looking at sleeper prospects at the tight end position that should be in line for big seasons this year. All of these prospects prospects should all be getting looks for the next level. Prep Redzone Florida will always promote everybody in hopes of them getting the opportunity of playing college football at the next level.
Carson Burbee- Clearwater Countryside
6’3 245lbs
Burbee has a nice powerful frame and is a really good tight end prospect. Burbee is a really good in-line run blocker and the 1st play on film shows him flat back a defender, he’s a good athlete that shows soft hands and is a crafty route runner with a big catch radius, breaks tackles and shows yard after the catch ability. He also plays defensive end and could be considered a pretty good prospect on that side of the ball as well. I think tight end is where he’ll play at the best level. He finished the season with 26 catches for 312 yd and 2 touchdowns.

Taylor Gilley- Florida High
6’2 234lbs
Gilley is a nice tight end/ H-back prospect, He has a very athletic frame and can also play with power, he squats 365lbs. Is a natural pass catcher that snares the ball out in front and has a good feel for running routes and getting open, is quick off the snap and shows light feet, balance, and break away speed with the ball in his hands. He also plays running back and averaged over 7 yd per carry, but I think tight end is where he’ll play in college, He does a good job walling off defenders blocking and showing aggressiveness. Gilley had 16 catches for 195 yards and one touchdown this season.

Wyatt Stiehl- East Lake
6’3 195lbs
Stiehl is a very good sleeper prospect that had 20 catches for 230 yards and a touchdown, he will need to add weight to play tight end in college, but he has the frame and athleticism to do so. He isn’t a overpowering run blocker, but he does show good willingness, technique and feet. As a pass catcher is where he excels, he has good hands and speed for the position, he could possibly even play as a big slot at the next level. He’s a natural hands catcher with good body control, East Lake does a good job moving him all over the field because of the mismatches he can cause. I’m excited to watch his progress this season.

Boe Taylor TE- Bozeman High
6’4 260lbs
Taylor is a prototype tight end prospect with D1 size, strength, blocking ability and shows functional speed for his position. Finds room to work as a receiver with good route running, and is physically tough, will lower pads and deliver a blow. Shows pretty good hands as well. Taylor is a versatile tight end prospect who also plays defensive end. I think he could be a steal for any school that offers.
