veteran tight end with special-teams grit and untapped receiving upside
In the 2025 season, Ethan Dirrim’s box-score impact was modest at Georgia Southern, but his value is in the glue-guy details: he’s a 6-2, 230-pound senior tight end who has consistently earned snaps through versatility and special-teams work, and he previously showed real receiving punch at Mercer with 22 catches for 417 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 2021 season. He’s the kind of player coaches like for toughness, reliability, and willingness to do the dirty work. If you need a high-floor TE who can block, contribute on teams, and fit into a physical run-first identity, he’s a credible depth add with some hidden receiving pedigree.
