Hayden Erickson brings size, blocking pedigree, and sneaky big-play potential to Southern Utah’s tight end room
Erickson enters Southern Utah as a **veteran tight end** with a reputation for physicality and blocking, and the Thunderbirds note that his receiving chances have been limited but he flashed with a **38-yard grab** last season when given opportunities.[7] His background includes experience at Utah and South Dakota, where he logged multiple game appearances and starts, which suggests he can handle a role that demands reliability, edge-setting, and willingness to do the dirty work.[5][7] If you need a TE who fits as a steady, assignment-sound complement rather than a pure volume receiver, Erickson is a credible fit.[7]
