Ben Bandel’s value was his size, upside, and camp surprise factor at tight end
At **6-foot-7, 255 pounds** in his listed Washington bio, Ben Bandel offered rare tight-end length and a developmental frame that made him a notable camp surprise, with 247Sports saying he emerged as a primary backup as a redshirt freshman in 2003. His appeal is the combination of size, recruiting pedigree, and early trust from the staff—useful traits if you want a TE with matchup potential and room to grow rather than just box-score production. There’s no current-season stat line in the available sources, so the key takeaway is upside and role potential, not proven production.
