Ball State’s versatile TE/RB hybrid with breakout flashes and a rugged frame
Maximus Webster is a 2026 Ball State tight end who brings rare versatility, size, and toughness, lining up as both a TE and RB at 6-2 and about 234 pounds.[1][2] In the 2025 season, he recorded 4 catches for 37 yards, and his path has included a season-ending injury in 2024, which adds some durability context teams will want to weigh.[2][4] The appeal is the dual-threat fit: he’s been used creatively, has academic-macro reliability, and profiles as a movable chess piece rather than just a traditional in-line TE.[1][15] If a staff wants a physical, flexible, low-drama developmental weapon, he’s a sneaky-interesting add.
