Brayden Blackmon is Western Carolina’s reliable, late-blooming TE with clear red-zone upside
In the 2025 season, Brayden Blackmon started all 12 games for Western Carolina and finished with 27 catches for 213 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a season-high 7 receptions at Wofford and a strong late-season stretch. He’s a big-bodied, 6'3", 250-pound target who looks comfortable as a chain-mover and red-zone option, and his gradual jump from 8 catches in 2024 to 27 in 2025 shows real development. The appeal is straightforward: dependable hands, improving production, and a TE frame that fits a physical offense.
