Tanner Cowley is a proven UVA tight end with veteran reliability and blocking grit
Tanner Cowley’s UVA profile is that of a steady, coach-trusted tight end who has been primarily used as a blocker, but can still flash as a pass-catcher when the play extends. In the 2019 season, he was described as the only tight end with remaining eligibility before becoming a more prominent part of the offense, and he finished his UVA career with six catches for 84 yards before adding a touchdown grab against North Carolina. His differentiators are experience, availability, and toughness in a system that values tight ends who can do the dirty work and stay ready when the quarterback improvises.
