High-upside Troy tight end still waiting for his breakout
Chad Barham, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end from Chester County HS, arrived at Troy as one of the staff’s highest-rated TE additions and a top-100 national recruit at the position in 2024, but he has not yet logged game action through the 2025 season. His appeal is the classic projection package: size, receiving pedigree, and a frame built for development in Troy’s system. For a team, he looks like a long-term upside play rather than an immediate stat-sheet weapon—worth caring about because the tools are real, even if the production is still in the “show me” phase.
