Big-bodied UTSA TE with NFL-style hands and red-zone juice
In the 2024 season, Oscar Cardenas gave UTSA a reliable tight end target, finishing with 13 catches for 141 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he’s been viewed as a 6-foot-4, 265-pound, pro-style piece with enough size to stress defenses in the middle and enough polish to finish plays in scoring territory.[1][4] His career UTSA production was much stronger over the long haul—95 receptions, 1,138 yards, and 9 touchdowns across six seasons—while his 2024 season was shortened by a reported knee issue, which matters for durability and upside.[6][11]
