Arizona’s Big-Play Tight End Who Turned Production Into Draft Value
In the 2023 season, Tanner McLachlan was one of Arizona’s most reliable matchup problems at tight end, catching 45 passes for 528 yards and 4 touchdowns while earning AP Second-Team All-Pac-12 honors; across his Arizona career, he finished with 79 catches, 984 yards, and 6 scores, the most receptions by a tight end in program history. He stands out as a smooth, pass-game first TE with enough size to stress linebackers and enough burst to create separation, which is exactly why NFL teams valued him enough to make him a 2024 sixth-round pick. If you want a receiver-minded tight end who can flex the field and keep the chains moving, this is your guy.
