Kayden Baze brings local-toughness energy to UTPB’s TE room
Kayden Baze is a 6-foot, 210-pound redshirt junior tight end at UT Permian Basin in the 2026 season, and his profile screams hometown grinder: Odessa product, physical enough to hold up at the point of attack, and experienced enough to have already seen game action in 2025, appearing in two contests. His best selling point is versatility and developmental upside rather than flashy box-score production, which makes him the kind of dependable, blue-collar fit coaches love in a TE room. In short: if you want a hard-working, local kid with room to grow, he’s worth a look.
