Joey Shearin is a developing 6-foot-2, 220-pound Gardner-Webb tight end with upside
Joey Shearin is a redshirt freshman tight end for Gardner-Webb in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, but public stat trackers show no recorded game stats yet, so he looks more like a developmental piece than a finished product[1][3][5]. What makes him interesting is the size-profile for the position and the fact that he’s still early in his college career, which usually means room to grow into a blocker-first, move-the-chains role if his hands and route detail keep progressing[1][5][6]. For a team shopping for immediate production, the resume is thin; for one hunting upside, there’s something to work with here[1][5].
