Gavin Grover is a rising all-around TE who could earn a bigger Bearcats role in 2026
Grover is a 6'6", 255-pound Cincinnati tight end whose best traits are his size, catch-point ability, and physicality after the catch, and he’s projected to take on a larger role after playing all 12 games in 2025 with limited but efficient production (4 catches, 58 yards). He’s viewed as a capable three-down tight end because he also brings real blocking value, while scouting notes flag route-running polish and speed against faster defensive backs as the main developmental areas. For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a sturdy, versatile TE with upside rather than a finished star.
