A towering redshirt-sophomore TE with NFL-ish frame and upside in the Redhawks' passing game
In the 2026 season, CJ Uhl is a 6-foot-7, 260-pound tight end for Southeast Missouri State whose biggest calling card is his mismatch size and developmental upside, not a stat sheet full of production yet.[15][4] He arrived as a Republic, Missouri standout who played both tight end and long snapper, caught 8 passes for 166 yards and 7 touchdowns as a senior, and comes from a football family, with his father a former Colorado State tight end and current high school assistant coach.[4][11] For a team, the appeal is obvious: big catch radius, physical projection, and a player who can grow into a red-zone weapon if his route detail and consistency keep climbing.[15][11]
