Aliam Appler is a fresh, high-upside TE conversion project at FAU
Appler is a 2024 freshman at Florida Atlantic who arrived as a quarterback and is being developed at tight end, which makes him an intriguing long-term chess piece rather than a finished product. In the 2024 season, available game logs show only minimal receiving production, so the appeal is his raw athletic background, quarterback feel, and versatility—plus he has already earned national-team experience. If a team wants a developmental tight end with upside, he’s a strong fit; if it needs an instant-stat-impact veteran, this is more of a patience play.
