Ayden Passley is a developmental tight end with real upside at FIU
Ayden Passley enters the 2026 season as a true freshman TE at FIU, listed at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, with a multi-sport background, a 3-star recruiting profile, and a reputation for being a long-term project rather than an instant-volume guy. In high school, he flashed as a versatile pass-catcher and red-zone threat, catching 12 passes for 112 yards and a TD in 2024 and 13 catches for 166 yards and four scores in his senior season. He looks like a good fit for a team that values size, athletic upside, and patient development.
