Tanner Koziol 2026 NFL Draft Profile | TE from Houston
Scouting Report
Tanner Koziol is a rare blend of pure athletic playmaking and size at the tight end position, using his imposing 6'7" frame to create mismatche's that defenses struggle to contain. The former two-star recruit began his career at Ball State, where he broke out as a junior with 94 catches for 839 yards and eight touchdowns-numbers that earned him first-team Group of 5 All-American honors from HERO Sports and third-team All-America recognition from College Football Network. His performance attracted Houston's attention, and as a highly-impactful transfer addition, Koziol finished in the top three among tight ends nationally in receiving yards with 651. His career numbers are staggering: 23 touchdowns across his collegiate career demonstrate his elite red-zone efficiency. Koziol's 6'7" frame creates immediate red-zone mismatche's and provides a massive catching radius that quarterbacks love to target. He wins 61% of his contested targets, making him a potential red-zone machine in the NFL. His ball skills and body control for a player his size are impressive, and he secured 94 receptions in 2024 despite heavy target volume, demonstrating reliability in clutch situations. However, Koziol doesn't offer much upside as an in-line tight end-his poor natural leverage, wide base at the point of attack, and inability to anchor limit his blocking value. He lacks explosive movements in routes, and more nuanced defenders can stick with him in man coverage. ESPN's Mel Kiper ranks him 5th among tight ends. His Senior Bowl acceptance provides a showcase opportunity.
