Big frame, special-teams grit, and a classic under-the-radar tight end arc
In the 2024 season, Coleson Arends appeared in all 14 games for Arizona State primarily on special teams, while in the 2023 season he redshirted and worked on the scout team, which tells you he’s been building his game the hard way[1][4]. At 6-foot-4 and about 250 pounds, he brings size and local pedigree from Pinnacle High, where he posted 25 catches for 331 yards and five touchdowns as a senior[1][6]. The fit? A developmental TE with toughness, versatility, and blue-collar value rather than a finished receiving weapon[1][4].
