UNLV TE Kaleo Ballungay: Red-Zone Beast with 6-7 Frame and 6 Career TDs
Kaleo Ballungay, a 6-7, 265-lb senior TE from Tracy, CA, is UNLV’s most reliable red-zone weapon, boasting 6 receiving TDs in 2024 and 8 career TDs overall [2][3]. His massive frame and 1.2 catches/game average make him a high-percentage target in tight spaces, though he lacks elite volume (17 receptions, 152 yards in 2024) [2]. Scouts note his intensity and clutch gene—he scored in key games vs. Boise State and San Diego State [6][7]. While not a deep-threat or high-volume receiver, his differentiator is *efficiency*: 35.3% TD rate on receptions in 2024 [2]. Ideal for teams needing a physical, possession TE who dominates the short field; injury history is clean, and his active status confirms full readiness [1].
