Devin Carlos is a trench-first tight end with ECU’s depth-chart juice
In the 2026 season, Devin Carlos has earned a move to tight end after two years on defense, and ECU’s staff says he has adapted well to the blocking side of the position while competing for depth-chart inclusion and contributing on special teams. The 6-foot-1, 261-pound senior brings physicality, toughness, and a ready-made frame for line-of-scrimmage work, but the early read is that his value is more about blocking, versatility, and reliability than catch volume right now. If you need a rugged, team-first TE who can help in the run game and wear a few hats, he fits the profile; if you need a seam-stretching receiver, he’s not that guy yet.[1][5]
