Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Dawson Knox
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.
