intriguing young TE with prototype size, but still an unknown in the stat sheet
Lazaro Rodriguez enters 2026 as a 6-foot-4, 235-pound sophomore tight end for Tennessee Tech, and the big selling point is the frame: he has the kind of length and mass that can grow into a versatile FCS TE role. Public stat trackers show no meaningful game-log production yet, so the evaluation is more projection than résumé, but that can be a positive if you’re hunting upside, developmental patience, and special-teams value. In short: intriguing fit for a program that likes molding tools, not a finished product.
