Andrew Bench brings proven size and red-zone utility to South Alabama’s tight end room
Bench is a 6-5, 255-pound tight end who has played in 47 career games and shown he can contribute as both a receiver and a physical in-line option, with previous production at Bowling Green and an early South Alabama catch for 19 yards in 2024.[1][3] His value is less about eye-popping volume and more about reliability, experience, and versatility: he has lined up as a tight end and defensive end, has a background as a productive high school receiver and defensive playmaker, and gives a roster a mature, multi-role piece who can help in the passing game, blocking, and special packages.[1][9]
