Tanner Koziol is a long, sure-handed, pass-catching tight end who brings proven production and red-zone value to Houston’s offense after transferring from Ball State. At 6'7", 250 lbs, he possesses prototypical size with a big catch radius, natural hands, and the ability to win in contested situations. Koziol was one of the most productive tight ends in the MAC across his career, totaling 1,100+ receiving yards and 14 touchdowns over three seasons while serving as a featured passing-game weapon. He thrives working up the seam, creating mismatches against safeties and linebackers, and provides a reliable target on third down. While not an overpowering in-line blocker, he shows effort, positional leverage, and continued development in Fritz’s offense should elevate him into a more well-rounded TE. As he transitions into the Big 12, Koziol projects as an immediate matchup piece with NFL size and hands, with his ceiling tied to improvements in play strength, blocking consistency, and route refinement versus man coverage.
