athletic ECU tight end with breakout flashes and portal momentum
Conner is a **6-foot-4, 239-pound** tight end who showed real receiving upside at East Carolina in 2025, posting **7 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in 3 games**, which hints at a vertical-threat TE rather than just an in-line blocker.[2] He also drew transfer interest strong enough that 247Sports reported his move to the portal, and Rivals reportedly rated him one of Vanderbilt’s more valuable portal additions, suggesting evaluators like his ceiling and versatility.[6][10] The fit is best for a team that wants a TE who can stretch the seam, create mismatches, and keep developing as a complete player.[2][10]
