6-5 TE with Elite Size, 20.1 YPC, and a Fighter's Mentality Committed to UTSA
Trysten Laughlin, a 6-5, 225-lb tight end from Kingwood HS committed to UTSA for the 2026 season, stands out with elite size and a 20.1 yards-per-catch average (362 total yards) that far exceeds the national average of 13.2. His differentiator isn't just stats; it's his relentless intensity—he fought to make varsity as a junior, split reps early as a senior, and clawed into the starter role through sheer grit. With an industry rating of 82.33 and 247Sports 3-star status, he's a physical mismatch for defenders and a high-intensity, team-first player who thrives in competitive environments. Why care? He brings rare size, explosive receiving ability, and a 'fought for every rep' personality that elevates any offense. Is he a good fit? Absolutely for UTSA’s Roadrunners, where his blocking prowess and big-play threat align perfectly with their offensive identity.
