Ex-QB Turned TE Powerhouse Bringing Size, Speed, and Scoring Punch to Northern Arizona
Joey Gatewood, the 6-5, 221-pound former dual-threat QB from Auburn, UAB, Kentucky, and Louisville, has evolved into a dynamic tight end with career college stats of 9 receptions for 150 yards and 3 TDs (avg. 16.7 yds/rec), showcasing his explosive playmaking from highlight-reel high school runs and key receptions like a 34-yard grab at UAB. His differentiator? Rare QB athleticism—5.1 ypc rushing at UAB—translating to TE versatility, red-zone threat, and blocking grit; no major injury flags, high-motor intensity makes him a perfect fit for teams needing a mismatch weapon who elevates offenses now.
