low-volume Gopher TE with old-school toughness
Mezzenga is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound Minnesota tight end/fullback whose current college production has been very limited — he has 1 career catch for 12 yards and 1 touchdown in his listed Minnesota stats, so he’s not a box-score hog[1][3][5]. What makes him interesting is the hybrid, physical profile: Minnesota lists him as a TE/FB, and recruiting services peg him as a big-bodied in-line option rather than a pure receiver[1][2]. If you want a rugged, versatile role player who can block, move around the formation, and do the dirty work, he fits; if you need a featured pass-catching mismatch, he’s probably not that guy[1][2][4].
