Paxton Strong Paxton Strong 6'2" | 230 lbs | TE El Dorado | 2026 State AR is an underrated tight end prospect. He rises to 181 overall and 5th at the position. Strong displays a solid release off the snap, due to his solid acceleration and foot quickness. He is a willing blocker, capable of setting the edge with good pad level, upper body strength, and leg drive to displace defenders or get out in space. As a pass catcher, he exhibits good hand-eye coordination, body control, and strong hands, allowing him to adjust mid-route or catch the ball in contested situations. Add him to your recruiting board.

Note – 4.2 GPA

Highlights from the North Little Rock benefit game. Only got to play the first half, but still enjoyed competing. Ready for next week!
