Big-bodied Ball State TE with untapped receiving upside
Hoover is a 6-foot-2, 250-pound tight end whose 2025 role was still small, but he flashed efficiency with 1 catch for 9 yards and brings a sturdy build plus solid blocking traits that fit a physical TE room.[1][2][3][7] His background includes transfer stops and production at Hutchinson CC, where Ball State lists him as a redshirt junior, which suggests he may offer more polish and maturity than his box score shows.[7] If you want a developmental tight end who can help in-line first and grow into a bigger pass-game role, Hoover is worth a look.[4][7]
