Trace Choate gives Sam Houston a depth-tight end with upside in a rebuild
Trace Choate projects as a useful, team-first tight end in Sam Houston’s 2025 rebuild under Phil Longo, with value that likely comes more from reliability, role flexibility, and fit than headline stat production; the available roster/preview material does not show him as a major statistical leader, so he looks more like a developmental piece than a featured weapon. That makes him worth watching if you want a TE who can buy into structure, help in multiple alignments, and add steady complementary value rather than demand the offense run through him.
