Yale TE Spencer Mermans Transfers to Georgia Tech as D1’s Top-Graded Block Specialist
Spencer Mermans, a 6'6", 260-lb junior from Charlotte, NC, just transferred from Yale to Georgia Tech after earning a 91.3 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in 2025—the highest among all NCAA Division I tight ends (FBS/FCS) who played 20%+ of offensive snaps [4]. Though his receiving stats are modest (1 career reception at Yale, both TDs), Mermans is a elite **run-blocking differentiator** who helped Yale reach its first-ever FCS playoff appearance and win in 2025, appearing in all 12 games [4][6]. Reddit analysts call him a “low-key big pickup” ideal for teams prioritizing run-game intensity [7]. He graduated with an economics degree, brings a track-record holder’s physicality (school shot put/discus records), and is the second Yale TE in three years to join Georgia Tech, following NFL-drafted Jackson Hawes [4]. If your team needs a **high-intensity, scheme-versatile blocker** with playoff-tested reliability, Mermans is a perfect fit.
