TE JR Notre Dame
About Mayer Updated Apr 18, 2026

Elite Pass-Catching TE with Pro-Level Blocking Skills

Mayer is a **consistent, high-volume receiver** who excels at making contested catches and operating in traffic. His college production was elite—67 receptions for 809 yards and 9 TDs in 2022[2]—showcasing soft hands and excellent ball skills[4]. What sets him apart: he's **the best blocking tight end in his class**[4], a rare two-way threat. While he lacks top-end athleticism[2], his route-running precision, quick release off the snap, and football intelligence make him a complete prospect. Perfect fit for teams valuing reliability and versatility over pure explosiveness.
