Carson Derey is flashing early red-zone value for Richmond
In the 2026 season, Richmond tight end Carson Derey has emerged as an efficient, low-volume weapon: he has 2 catches for 15 yards and 1 touchdown, including his first career score in the season opener against Bucknell. At 6-3 and 246 pounds, he brings a sturdy TE frame and enough athletic upside to be a useful middle-of-the-field and goal-line target. He’s still early in his career, with limited game action as a freshman in 2025, but the early returns suggest a dependable, physical fit if you want a developing tight end with real scoring utility.
