The best part of 2025 Hurricane TE Rhett McGrew Rhett McGrew 6'3" | 235 lbs | TE Hurricane | 2025 State WV ‘s game is his strong blocking ability, but it was good to see him come out and get some work as a pass catcher at the Combine. He thrives on the football field during a real game when there’s more contact allowed compared to a camp setting, but McGrew still has the ability and potential to be a threat in the passing game. He’s an athlete who has recently come into his own and has made great strides in his development over the past three years at the high school level whose best has yet to come. McGrew is a strong athlete who is a tough cover for defensive backs given his size.

He’s already received offers from Marshall and UVA-Wise who ranks inside of our 2025 Top 10 right now as a talented blocking tight end who showed he can be dangerous in the passing game too when given opportunities.

Hurricane TE Rhett McGrew Rhett McGrew 6'3" | 235 lbs | TE Hurricane | 2025 State WV is currently slated to be the highest-ranked prospect regardless of class to be in attendance at the PRZ WV Combine. The 6’3 235 rising senior is ranked as the #1 TE in the 2025 class and a Top 10 player at this time. McGrew earned his first D1 offer from in-state Marshall back in November and should be in line for some more with strong camp performances over the summer and a solid senior season. The biggest question for him heading into the camp will be how he performs as a pass-catcher and how he tests in the combine drills. We know McGrew is an impressive blocker but his opportunities in the passing game were limited to 17 catches last season, so this will be a great opportunity for him to showcase that side of his game as well which we’re confident he’ll do. Watch for him in the 1-on-1s portion of the camp where he should be able to dominate, and McGrew can solidify himself as the #1 TE in the class with some strong testing numbers.

Hurricane TE Rhett McGrew Rhett McGrew 6'3" | 235 lbs | TE Hurricane | 2025 State WV is someone we identified at the midpoint of the season and included in our Midseason Stock Risers series and now ranks inside the Top 10 as the #1 TE in the class. We said on Twitter that the 2025 TE class has D1 potential in it and sure enough, Marshall jumped on board with an early offer for McGrew. Hurricane got him involved in the passing game a bit catching 17 passes for 201 yards and 3 touchdowns but McGrew showed he was an unselfish player in the blocking game. The 6’3 225 junior could end up as a TE or H-Back at the next level depending on how he grows and develops in the future. McGrew put in the work last off-season to work himself into being a D1 prospect and increased his size and strength considerably which he’ll continue to do. He has the athleticism to not only be a factor in the passing game but also block in space and at the second level. McGrew is also a physical blocker at the line of scrimmage but can line up in the slot or out wide to block linebackers and defensive backs too. He’s one of the few 2025 prospects to have received a D1 offer at this point which puts him firmly in the Top 10 at this juncture.

Another blocking tight end that I was impressed with when watching his film from the first five weeks is junior Hurricane Redskin Rhett McGrew Rhett McGrew 6'3" | 235 lbs | TE Hurricane | 2025 State WV . McGrew has the ideal size that you’re looking for in a high school tight end at 6’3 225 and has shown the willingness to be physical in the running game. Although they primarily use him as a blocker, McGrew has caught a few touchdowns and has enough athleticism to flare out in the passing game or line up in the slot. Hurricane also lines him up out wide at times to block in the screen game so he can block in open space as well and not just attached to the line. McGrew added a lot of size and strength in the off-season which has paid dividends this season in his game with still one more year of high school left after this season.
