Northern Colorado TE Samad Hinds: Long, rangy target with P5-level upside
Samad Hinds brings **prototype size and length** at tight end, with Northern Colorado listing him at 6-foot-5, 255 pounds and recruiting services ranking him as a **three-star prospect** and the **34th-best TE nationally** in his class.[5][6] His appeal is the kind that goes beyond box-score production: he’s a big-bodied mismatch piece who can help in the pass game and give an offense a true red-zone target, which is why he drew heavy interest from programs like Florida State, Kansas State, Boston College, Minnesota, and USF before landing at UNC.[3][5]
