Purdue TE George Burhenn brings size, receiving upside, and a healthy spring reset
George Burhenn is a 6-foot-5 Purdue tight end with legitimate pass-catching upside: he averaged 10.4 yards per catch in 2025 before an injury ended his season after four games, and he flashed big-play ability with a 74-yard, one-touchdown freshman campaign in 2023. His differentiators are his frame, soft hands, and ability to threaten defenses down the seam, while the biggest question is durability after missing significant time in back-to-back seasons. If you want a TE who can add matchup value in the passing game and is reportedly back healthy in spring 2026, he’s a worthwhile fit to monitor.
