Aggie Heart, blocker-first TE: Tanner Schorp brought toughness, not flash
In the 2017 season, Tanner Schorp was a classic Texas A&M tight end glue guy: he appeared in all 12 games with eight starts and caught 6 passes for 59 yards, while also earning the program’s Aggie Heart Award for toughness and leadership.[1][4] His calling cards were reliable blocking, special-teams value, and a high-effort edge rather than volume production.[1][9] If a team needs a physical, team-first TE who does the dirty work and brings strong intangibles, Schorp fits that mold; if it needs a seam-stretcher or high-upside receiving weapon, this is not that profile.[1][14]
