Durable depth-piece with a blue-collar edge
In the 2024 season, Vincent Santos played in 11 games and logged 118 snaps at tight end for New Mexico, but did not record any traditional stats—an indicator that his value was more about assignment football, physicality, and doing the dirty work than box-score splash. The 6-foot-2, 277-pound redshirt senior has the kind of veteran, versatile profile coaches like for blocking-heavy packages, and his long road from no snaps for four straight seasons to a meaningful role hints at real patience and toughness. If you need a rugged role player rather than a receiving mismatch, he’s the kind of fit that quietly makes an offense sturdier.
