WMU's Emerging TE Powerhouse with NFL-Bound Hands
Western Michigan's Brett Quinlan has exploded in the 2025 season as a junior tight end, hauling in 42 receptions for 612 yards and 7 TDs through Week 10, ranking 3rd among MAC TEs in yards per catch (14.6) per NCAA stats. His differentiator? Elite contested-catch ability (68% success rate, PFF data) and blocking tenacity that springs big runs—think reliable chain-mover with a mean streak. No major injury history, high-motor intensity, and coachable vibe make him a Day 3 NFL draft fit for teams needing versatile TEs; scout buzz from The Draft Network calls him 'sleeper gem'.
