High-upside, still-unproven South Dakota TE with real target-shedding traits
Herrin is a 6-foot-5, 230-pound redshirt freshman tight end at South Dakota who arrives with legit receiving pedigree from high school — including a school-record 66 catches, 1,500+ receiving yards and 13 touchdowns at South Vigo — but he did not see game action in 2025, so his college résumé is still a blank slate. [2] [1] His appeal is projection: size, ball production, and a pass-catching background that suggests mismatch potential if his route detail, blocking consistency, and physicality translate to FCS speed.
