Cleaver is a tough, experienced TE who has earned a real role at Bowling Green after starting in 2024 and contributing in 2025 with 3 catches for 11 yards and a touchdown, including scores against Louisville and Massachusetts.[1][3][6][8] At 6-2, 235, he profiles more as a reliable all-around piece than a pure seam-stretcher: his college ratings show solid stamina, adequate receiving ability, and functional blocking traits, which fits a team looking for a dependable, high-effort tight end who can do a little of everything.[4] His background as a multi-sport, multi-position player and former tackling-machine linebacker points to competitive toughness and versatility.[7][8]
