Fernando Garza III is Sam Houston’s 6-foot-6 blocking tight end with NFL-style size
In the 2024 season, Fernando Garza III appeared in all 13 games for Sam Houston and was used primarily as a blocking tight end, with one catch for 2 yards while helping in run blocking and pass protection. His biggest differentiator is the frame: at 6-foot-6 and around 250 pounds, he offers prototype size, length, and strength, plus enough athleticism to develop as a receiving threat. The read on him is pretty clear: he’s a tone-setter first, pass-catcher second, which makes him a fit for teams that value edge-setting, physicality, and dirty-work reliability.
