Gage Ridgel brings pro-sized upside and blue-collar TE vibes to Northwestern State
In the 2023 season, Gage Ridgel appeared in two games for Northwestern State but did not record a statistic, and he entered the program after stops at Fort Scott CC and Coffeyville CC, where he caught four passes for 45 yards. His listed frame is a legit 6-foot-4/6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, which screams in-line blocking potential with enough mass to matter in the run game. The biggest separator here is developmental upside: a hard-working, physically mature tight end who looks built for dirty work, red-zone value, and steady role growth rather than flashy box-score fireworks.
