Tulsa’s big-bodied receiver switch with toughness and a high-upside feel
In Tulsa’s 2026 roster profile, Malachi Blankenship is listed as a 6-1, 190-pound sophomore wide receiver, and the staff notes he made the move from quarterback to receiver while showing a great attitude, toughness, and reliable hands as he got more comfortable at the position[1]. That kind of background usually screams “developmental weapon”: he brings versatility, a quarterback’s understanding of leverage, and the mental transition that can help a young receiver find soft spots in coverage. If you want a gritty, coachable fit with upside rather than a finished product, he’s worth a look[1].
