Ex-Sooners TE with NFL Frame & Blocking Prowess Now in Falcons' Fold
Austin Stogner, a 6'4", 261-lb tight end, shone at Oklahoma in 2020 with 26 receptions for 422 yards and 3 TDs (2nd-team All-Big 12) before a knee injury and transfer to South Carolina, where he posted modest 2022 stats (13-20 rec, 140-210 yds). His differentiators? Elite linear athleticism (4.79 40-yd), surprising agility for his size, and standout blocking impact—making him a versatile TE1 fit for teams needing a physical, tough inline presence over pure receiving stats. Injury-resilient and academically sharp, he's now on the Atlanta Falcons' 2024 roster.
