Braiden Staten is a rising FIU tight end with prototype size and steady growth
In the 2025 season, Braiden Staten appeared in nine games for FIU, catching 3 passes for 26 yards, and his 6-foot-6, 245-pound frame gives the Panthers a legit red-zone and blocking weapon. He was a three-star recruit who was praised as an imposing tight end who excels in both the run and passing game, and his 2025 role suggests a player still carving out his ceiling rather than flashing as a finished product. If your team wants a physical, versatile TE with upside, he’s worth a close look.
