Alex Lines brings veteran size and untapped TE value to Northwestern
In the 2025 season, Northwestern TE Alex Lines flashed modest production with 4 catches for 14 yards, but his real calling card is his veteran frame at 6-6, 250 and the fact that he arrived with a reputation as a top tight-end prospect out West. He looks like a classic ‘glue guy’ tight end: big target, red-zone body, and a player whose value may show up more in sealing edges, pass protection, and matchup stress than in box-score fireworks. Good fit if you want size, experience, and a steady all-around TE—less so if you need a high-volume receiving threat.
