Masen Wake brings BYU a rugged, yards-after-contact tight end with surprising burst
Wake has been a versatile H-back/TE for BYU, highlighted by a 2021 season with 14 catches for 148 yards and a touchdown, and he earned attention for his hurdling, physical run-after-catch style, and ability to turn short throws into momentum plays. BYU has described him as a “hurdling” option who leaves missed tackles in his wake, which matters because his value goes beyond box-score production: he offers toughness, motion versatility, and a physical fit for a team that wants a move piece who can stress tacklers after the catch.[1][7]
