'25 TEs You Shouldn't Overlook This Season

<p>With the new season just around the corner, it's always fun to look beyond the top names and find those hidden gems. In this article, we're diving into five tight ends from the class of 2025 that you shouldn't overlook. These guys are true sleepers—under-the-radar talents who have the potential to be game-changers on the field. Whether they're stepping into bigger roles or set to surprise us all with their untapped potential, these tight ends are worth keeping an eye on. Let's get to know these prospects who are ready to make their mark.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 6'4" and 220 lbs, [player_tooltip player_id='954395' first='Joseph' last='Sumpter'] is a big body with a massive catch radius. He has surprising speed for a player of his stature, but still has the physicality and length to be really effective in the run game. He uses his size and leverage well and with his speed, he's not easy for faster edge rushers to get around. With secure hands, he can catch just about anything that comes his way. As Sumpter looks to take on a bigger role in his final season, the Apollo offense will likely be more pass-heavy; they'll want to make sure the tight end who averaged 26 yards a reception as a junior is a part of that. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JoeSump80/status/1795915742124322865 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1145549' first='Andrew' last='Mosqueda'] shouldn't be a sleeper tight end, but somehow he still seems to be flying under the radar. Averaging 85.5 yards a game last year while getting to just under 50 receptions, he's already shown how productive he can be. His ability to come down with contested catches is right up there with the best in the state. At 6'3" and 185 lbs, he's leaner for a tight end but still has room to add weight to his frame. Able to find the endzone eight times in his junior year, Mosqueda is a player who could garner a lot of attention in his final high school season. </p>      <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'4" and 205 lbs, [player_tooltip player_id='368968' first='Porter' last='Wilhelm'] has some impressive speed for a tight end. Now attending Mountain View, his quick feet make him a threat to score any time he gets the ball in his hands. With his height and length, there aren't too many throws that he can't get to. He does a nice job of using that length as a blocker to ensure that pass rushers aren't able to use their strength against him. That type of versatility is going to make him a big part of Mountan View's offense this year. With plenty of room to add some eight to his frame, Wilhelm is a player that coaches should have on their big board going into the 2024 season. </p>      <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1145600' first='Logan' last='James'] is going to jump onto a lot of people's radar throughout the 2024 season. With quick feet and really refined routes, he's able to get some nice separation. He's got a really strong base and is very physical when blocking. He's a massive advantage for Hamilton, to have a player who's athletic enough to catch the passes, but strong and aggressive enough to block the top pass rushers in the state. James is going to make a big impact on this offense in '24 and coaches should be watching him closely.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LogansJames36/status/1813392006800081047 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1353945' first='David' last='Baba'] is a force to be reckoned with on both sides of the ball for Ironwood Ridge. Defensively, he's a strong and aggressive presence that has incredible burst that those in the trenches can't keep up with. On the offensive end, he has stellar hands that are constantly on display, and that burst that he shows on the other side of the ball turns into full-on impressive speed. Coming off a year where Baba was able to find the endzone twice, I'd expect him to become a lot more used to crossing the goal line in his final high school season. </p>
