3-Star Hawaii TE with 90 OVR, Elite Frame, and Multilevel Production for Cal
Taimane Purcell, a 6'3", 230-pound 3-star tight end from Kamehameha High (Class of 2026), brings elite size (ranked #30 nationally by 247Sports) and a 90 OVR to Cal, having recorded 20 catches for 225 yards and 4 TDs as a junior [1][2][6][7]. Unlike standard in-line TEs, Purcell’s multilevel production, frame, and athleticism make him a dynamic passing option and a plus run-game blocker [5][8]. His intensity is evident in his consistent double-digit production across seasons, and his personality shines through as a top state prospect who chose Cal over USC, Oregon, and Tennessee [1][3][7]. With no reported injury history and a high-upside profile, he’s a perfect fit for Cal’s evolving offense, offering immediate versatility and long-term growth.
