Colby Simpson brings red-zone size and upside to Tulane’s tight end room
Colby Simpson is a 2026 freshman TE at Tulane with prototype size at 6-foot-6 and 247 pounds, and scouting notes point to a long, lean frame, good straight-line speed, and real mismatch potential as a pass catcher. In his 2023 high school season at Oaks Christian, he also showed two-way toughness with 40 tackles and 1 sack, which hints at physicality and competitive juice, not just receiving flash. He was rated a three-star prospect by major recruiting services and enrolled at Tulane in January 2026, so he looks like a developmental weapon who could grow into a versatile, every-down tight end.
