Stone Eby’s SMU value: big-body TE, red-zone utility, and versatility
In the 2025 season, Stone Eby was a 6'5", 260-pound senior tight end for SMU who brought rare positional versatility, having moved from defensive line/fullback to TE and special teams contributor. His stat line was modest—2 catches for 8 yards and 1 touchdown in career summaries—but that misses his appeal: he’s a physical matchup piece with red-zone size, experience, and a willingness to do the dirty work. If a team wants a tough, adaptable, low-drama glue guy rather than a high-volume receiving threat, Eby fits the bill.
