Grafton had a ton of senior leadership and talent on their 2025 roster that led them to a State Championship. Having that type of senior-ladened team allows those younger athletes to sit back and learn. That is what Hank Doyle was about to do, but 2026 looks like it will be his time to get his feet wet and play under those Friday night lights.

Coaches and scouts around the country are going to be waiting for that first tape to drop as the 6’6″ 215 lbs 2029 TE is turning into a national level recruit. He crushed the offseason showing off his elite frame and catch radius along with the effortless and smooth athleticism that has helped him to become a matchup nightmare. The 2029 TE holds offers from Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Miami (OH). No question about it, Hank Doyle will be ready for a varsity role when he is called into it.

Right up at the top of my list is Grafton TE Hank Doyle. The ’29 TE has a long list of elite traits and tools that should have him as a highly sought after recruit over the coming years. This summer I hope to see him in person because I want to see him vs top competition. Grafton was a deep roster that was able to make a run to a State Championship so they didn’t need much from a freshman TE. So this summer should be the launching pad for Hank’s recruitment. It will be our first look at how he moves, creates space, uses his size, attacks the ball in the air. I want to see where he is at on the path towards becoming a top recruit for his Class and a mismatch at the TE position.

We wrap up with freshman TE Hank Doyle Hank Doyle 6'6" | 215 lbs | TE/EDGE Grafton | 2029 State WI . This is a lot of projection because Hank didn’t play varsity much in 2025, but the already present tools can’t be ignored. The freshman already has rare size at 6’6″ 200 lbs. That is special itself, but watching him run downfield and execute routes as effortlessly as Hank does makes him even more special. He also has big hands that naturally take the ball out of the air. I have no doubts that the 2029 is ready to work his way into a prevalent Friday night role this season. Coaches, make sure you have Hank on your boards sooner rather than later.

I’ve been very excited to see the film from freshman TE Hank Doyle Hank Doyle 6'6" | 215 lbs | TE/EDGE Grafton | 2029 State WI since last summer when his put him on my radar. You don’t see many kids Hank’s age with his 6’6″ 200 frame, and even less who can play on the field as smoothly as he can. The ’29 can stretch the field with his natural speed and reels in the ball effortlessly. We also see him utilized underneath a lot where he can use that size to protect the ball at the catch and then get up field. You have to love the way Hank attacks in the run game too. He is so quick to his man and turns that burst into power to drive his man away from the gap. The well rounded freshman has a very high ceiling. I hope to see him on Friday nights this season.
