dependable, blocking-first Gophers tight end with sneaky production upside
In the 2025 season, Drew Biber gave Minnesota a steady, veteran presence at tight end, finishing with 18 catches for 136 yards and no touchdowns after arriving as a Purdue transfer with one season left of eligibility[5][7]. At 6-foot-4, 245 pounds, he’s valued more for winning dirty work than headline-grabbing box scores: he’s described as a blocking tight end who helps replace lost snaps and brings a physical, team-first edge[2][9][11]. If your team wants a reliable in-line TE who can do the unglamorous stuff and still make the occasional chain-moving catch, he’s a fit[2][7].
