Nolan Quinlan brings a real TE1 profile to ULM: productive, reliable, and quietly tough
In the 2025 season, Nolan Quinlan has emerged as a dependable target for Louisiana-Monroe, with ESPN listing him at 59 catches, 638 yards, and 2 touchdowns, while ULM notes his FBS career highs at ULM included 17 receptions and 207 yards in his final season there[3][7]. He’s a 6-foot-5 tight end with enough size to play through contact and enough receiving polish to stretch the middle of the field, and Pro Football Focus data cited by Virginia ranked him among the Sun Belt’s better tight ends in both receiving and pass-blocking. For a team, he looks like a balanced, low-drama fit: useful in the pass game, credible as a blocker, and experienced enough to help an offense right away[15].
