Big-frame USC tight end who flashed red-zone juice, but injuries slowed the climb
In the 2022 season, Josh Falo showed why USC kept betting on him: a 6-6, 255-pound tight end with real red-zone value, highlighted by a two-touchdown game against Utah and 3 career TDs in 36 games for the Trojans. His calling card is size, contested-catch ability, and functional run-blocking, but the bigger story is availability—multiple injuries kept him from sustained production, and he hadn’t caught a pass since 2019 before his 2022 breakout. If you want a matchup weapon with upside, he’s intriguing; if you need a durable every-week volume producer, that’s the hesitation.
