The future Jayhawks  is an ascending in-line tight end with good size and length. Kansas will look to fill out his long frame and get him stronger as a point-of-attack blocker. While he looks lanky and unorthodox in the early stages of the route, he plays with good physicality throughout and does a nice job of shielding defenders from playing the football. He doesn’t have threatening speed but he is willing to sit in holes and work across the middle of defenses. He also is dangerous at high pointing because of his size and his ability. The redzone will be Bruhn’s best friend as he can win fades and slants near the end zone.

Play-style: In-line Redzone Target

Season Stats: 17 receptions, 189 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns

Also able to impact the passing game with solid route running, Bruhn has good balance and shows off some YAC ability with the ball in his hands as well. As a defensive end, his sheer size and athleticism help him beat blocking attempts with his first step, lateral agility that helps him cross face of offensive lineman, and strong punch to knock opponents off balance.
