Grant Davis brings pro-sized blocking value to UAB’s tight end room
Grant Davis entered UAB as a 6-4, 255-pound freshman tight end from Kingwood High School, and the clearest separator in his profile is his blocking-first identity. UAB’s roster bio says he was used primarily as a blocking tight end in high school, which fits a run-game-friendly role where physicality, edge-setting, and dirty-work reliability matter more than splashy receiving stats. He was also a two-time all-district punter, a quirky little bonus that hints at coordination and versatility. If a team wants a tough, assignment-sound TE who can help the offense without needing targets, he makes sense.
