The versatile tight end is an ideal target for a quarterback and is tough to bring down in the open field. He is a nightmare for defenders in one-on-one situations as he wins 50/50 balls more often than not.

DeRoche is deadly out wide or from the traditional tight end position. He is a much-improved blocker and uses his strength to drive defenders out of the play.

The Miami commit is a multi-sport athlete (basketball and track), and is dangerous at the traditional tight end position or out wide as a receiver. He has tremendous balance at his size and shows superb athletic ability when battling for 50/50 balls in the air.

He rarely loses on fade routes to the corner of the end zone and has shown that he can win consistently against highly skilled defensive backs to get open. He is a solid blocker and uses his legs to drive opponents out of the way, but could still improve in this area to be effective on the college level.
