UNLV’s former OL-to-TE project still chasing his first real crack
Phillip Haynes III is a developmental UNLV tight end who was moved from offensive line to TE, a clue that his size and blocking mindset are his calling cards rather than flashy receiving numbers.[2] UNLV listed him as a returning player looking to earn his first playing time, and the 2026 depth chart/roster context suggests he remains a depth-piece, not a featured stat leader.[2][4][6] If your team wants a blue-collar, versatile blocker with upside and patience baked in, he’s an intriguing fit; if you need an instant-impact pass catcher, he’s still more project than production.[2]
