WVU’s 6-6 ‘Cheat Code’ TE Ready to Redshirt Into a Star
Carter Zuliani, a 6-6, 254-lb redshirt freshman tight end for West Virginia, is hailed as a ‘cheat code’ for his rare blend of size, modern TE mold, and dual-threat prep background (started at TE and DE at Bridgeport High) [1][4]. As one of only two returning TEs in 2026 alongside Ryan Ward, he’s positioned to become a primary target in WVU’s renewed TE emphasis [1]. Though he hasn’t posted college stats yet (redshirted in 2025), his intensity, physicality, and in-state pedigree make him a high-upside fit for teams needing a big, versatile blocker-receiver [3][4]. No injury history reported; his ‘four-star lineman’ roots suggest elite toughness and learning speed [10].
