Michigan TE Deakon Tonielli is a growing all-around option with reliable hands and upside as a blocker
Tonielli’s 2025 usage suggests a steady, complementary tight end who can help a team as both a receiver and a grinder: he posted 8 catches for 72 yards in 13 games, with his longest reception going 28 yards[1][2][11]. At 6-foot-5 and 246 pounds, he brings a classic Michigan TE frame, while scouting-style ratings point to solid athletic traits, catching ability, and enough speed to threaten the seam[4][5][6]. Reports also highlight his special-teams commitment and improvement, which adds value beyond box-score production[11][17].
