Montana State TE Tiai Salanoa: dependable early-career producer with a strong frame and red-zone value
Tiai Salanoa has been a useful, physical tight end for Montana State, and the clearest thing working in his favor is that he has already produced when healthy: in 2012, he was the Bobcats’ starting tight end through six games before an injury ended his season, with 11 catches for 89 yards and a touchdown.[4] That profile points to a player who can be trusted in the middle of the field and as a matchup piece near the goal line. His value is less about gaudy volume and more about toughness, role fit, and making the most of limited targets.[4][5]
