Nick Elksnis gives UNLV a big, reliable TE target with vertical upside
In 2025, Elksnis has shown real utility as a 6-foot-6 tight end for UNLV, finishing with 12 catches for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns, including an early 21-yard score against UCLA and a 14-yard touchdown vs. New Mexico.[4][18] His value is more than box-score size: he brings a long catch radius, red-zone usefulness, and enough athletic profile to project as a mismatch piece rather than just an inline blocker, with EA’s College Football 26 listing him at 6'6", 75 overall, and strong acceleration for the position.[13] He looks like a good fit for teams needing a complementary TE who can stretch seams, win on timing throws, and give the offense a trustworthy chain-mover with upside.[18][14]
