Utah State TE commit Preston McDaniel brings proven production and mismatch size
Preston McDaniel profiles as a high-upside tight end because he pairs a **6-foot-4, 225-pound frame** with real high school production: in his junior season at Thunder Ridge, he started all 9 games and posted **41 catches for 564 yards and 4 touchdowns**. He was also rated by 247Sports as the **82nd-best tight end nationally** and the **8th-best player in Idaho**, and he chose Utah State over multiple FBS and service-academy offers, which suggests legitimate recruiting appeal. He looks like a fit for a system that wants a physical, reliable pass-catcher with room to develop at the next level.[4][2]
