Scouting Report

Michigan · 2025 draft class

Loveland is a dynamic, new-age tight end with exceptional receiving skills and developing blocking ability. He displays rare athleticism for the position, with the route-running fluidity of a wide receiver. Loveland creates separation with sharp cuts and subtle deception at the top of routes. His hands are reliable, with the ability to make contested catches and adjust to balls thrown outside his frame. After the catch, Loveland shows impressive speed and elusiveness for his size, turning short completions into big gains.

Strengths

  • Athletic receiving threat
  • smooth route runner
  • reliable hands
  • seam-stretcher
  • red zone target
  • yards-after-catch ability
  • improving as a blocker
  • positional versatility

Concerns

  • Still developing as an inline blocker against defensive ends
  • occasionally telegraphs routes
  • needs to improve play strength at the point of attack
  • can be more physical in contested catch situations
