Top Tight Ends to Watch Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft
As the 2024 college football season draws near, the buzz around the 2025 NFL Draft intensifies. Tight ends are among the captivating prospects, and Phil Steele’s Top 25 draft-eligible tight ends list highlights notable players to keep an eye on. Colston Loveland from Michigan, fresh off a national championship, leads the pack. His formidable performance has him pegged as a first-round pick.
Mason Taylor from LSU and Mitchell Evans from Notre Dame rank second and third. Taylor stands to benefit from vacancies left by key offensive departures at LSU and may see increased production. Evans, overcoming an ACL injury, is poised for a significant season with Notre Dame.
Rounding out the top five are Oregon’s Terrance Ferguson and North Carolina’s Bryson Nesbit. Ferguson is expected to shine with a new quarterback setup at Oregon, while Nesbit’s consistent performance in North Carolina secures his spot. Other notable mentions include Tyler Warren, Caden Prieskorn, and Luke Lachey, all poised to make substantial impacts in their respective programs.
