Tyler DeRienzo is a high-upside, hard-to-read Citadel tight end with size on his side
Tyler DeRienzo enters the 2025 season as a redshirt freshman tight end at The Citadel, listed at 6-foot-0, 260 pounds, but there’s no public game production yet—2024 notes show he never saw game action. That means the intrigue is all about projection: compact power, in-line blocking potential, and a body type that suggests he could be a rugged fit in a run-heavy system if he keeps developing. If your team wants a TE with real trench value and patience to grow into snaps, he’s worth a look; if you need proven receiving stats right now, the resume is still waiting to be written.
