Sean Persson gives UAB a big-bodied, versatile tight end with juice after the catch
In 2026, Sean Persson enters UAB as a redshirt sophomore at 6-5, 245, bringing a proven receiving résumé from Citrus CC (26 catches, 364 yards, 6 TDs in 2024) and a decorated all-around high school background that included 28 catches for 591 yards, five scores, and 28 tackles on defense. He didn’t see game action at Toledo in 2025, so the key question is usage—not talent. His fit is appealing if UAB wants a physical seam target who can threaten mismatches, block with effort, and add versatility. The upside is real; the production just needs a clean runway.
