Dylan Burk brings rare size and developmental upside to UCF’s tight end room
Burk is a 6-foot-7, 255-pound sophomore tight end who arrives at UCF after playing all 12 games for Sam Houston in the 2025 season, when he caught 6 passes for 55 yards.[1][2][5] The appeal is obvious: he’s a massive catch radius target with room to grow as a run-game piece and special-teams contributor, and UCF’s staff specifically added him for extra big bodies and positional depth.[2] He’s not a proven volume producer yet, but his frame, eligibility, and portal pedigree make him a classic upside play for a team that likes developing mismatches.[1][9][10]
