UAB TE Gabriel Cline: big-frame, high-upside pass-catcher with room to grow
Gabriel Cline enters UAB as a **6'4", 215-pound freshman tight end** with a useful blend of size, athleticism, and receiving skill that fits a modern move-TE role; EA and prospect data point to solid speed, agility, and hands, including an 80 catching grade and 75 short-route running in the 2026 ratings. His profile suggests more pass-game upside than in-line blocking polish right now, so he looks best as a developing mismatch piece rather than a finished every-down mauler. For a team, that means upside is real if you want a versatile TE who can stretch seams and work the intermediate game, but he may need time and strength gains before becoming a complete blocker.[1][2][6]
