Austin Blake-Smith brings veteran TE size, toughness, and a transfer-traveled football story
Austin Blake-Smith’s profile is built on classic tight-end traits: at 6-5 and about 240-255 pounds, he has the size to stress linebackers and the frame to help in the run game, and his earlier UTSA stint showed he could produce as a pass-catcher (18 catches for 197 yards and 2 TDs in 2016). His path matters too — he was a late football convert, originally a baseball player, which hints at a little extra edge and adaptability. For a roster needing dependable physicality and mature, add-value depth, he’s an intriguing fit.
