Athletic TE with old-school Houston versatility
Blade Bassler is a 6-foot-3, 235-pound senior tight end from Rockdale, Texas, listed as a starter candidate for Houston and described as one of the more athletic players on the roster, with enough mobility to threaten defenses after the catch and contribute on special teams. In his Houston career, he was noted for his quarterback background, open-field running ability, and useful all-around athleticism—traits that make him more than just a blocking TE. If you want a versatile, high-effort, scheme-flexible piece with proven football IQ and toughness, he’s worth a look.
