UNI’s Elias Nissen is a proven, blue-collar tight end who wins with blocking polish and clutch red-zone efficiency
In the 2018 season, Elias Nissen posted 12 catches for 154 yards and 2 touchdowns for UNI, and the Panthers also credited him as a key blocker in the run game[3][6][14]. His differentiator is the classic UNI tight end profile: dependable, physical, and assignment-sound, with enough receiving touch to punish defenses when they sleep on him[1][10][14]. If a team wants a TE who can help the run game first and still create value in the passing game, Nissen is a fit—he’s more “chain-mover and tone-setter” than highlight-reel sprinter[1][14].
