Magnus Von Saldern is UMass’s massive, late-blooming TE with a real red-zone pulse
In the 2025 season, Magnus Von Saldern flashed as a 6-foot-4, 285-pound redshirt senior tight end for UMass, appearing in 11 games and scoring his first career receiving touchdown on a 1-yard catch against Akron.[1][2] His calling card is size-first physicality: he gives the Minutemen a true inline presence, plus enough growth on offense to turn one catch into a meaningful red-zone threat.[1][2] If you want a TE who can help bully fronts, anchor the edge, and keep developing as a matchup piece, he’s worth a closer look—especially if you value toughness and upside over instant polish.[1][2]
