Summary
Joe Royer is a versatile, sure-handed tight end who moves with the fluid athleticism of a wide receiver. He excels at stretching the field vertically and punishing defenses in the screen game with his ability to accelerate quickly. While he’s a dangerous weapon in open space, he’s also a capable blocking tight end.
About
- 2024-25: Two-time All-Big 12 (first team in 2024, third team in 2025)
- 2024: Set single-season school record for receptions by a TE (50), surpassing Travis Kelce’s 45 (2012)
Strengths
- Elite ball security with zero drops this season
- Vertical speed to threaten safeties and stride out in space.
- Versatile blocker capable of lead-blocking as a fullback or inline.
Weaknesses
- Average lateral quickness and twitch compared to his straight-line speed.
- Limited route variety, primarily focused on late releases and screens.
- Relies more on build than short-area suddenness to beat defenders.
