As summer heats up, so does our scouting season—and we're diving deep into the college football landscape to keep you ahead of the game. This time, we're turning our attention to a rising tight end prospect who's making waves at UCF: Dylan Wade.
While we often spotlight quarterbacks, offensive tackles, and edge rushers, every position matters in the NFL draft. Whether these players end up in Tampa Bay, Chicago, or Pittsburgh, knowing the names now means you'll be the most informed fan come fall. So grab your playbook and get ready for another Summer Scouting report.
Dylan Wade is a tight end who brings a refreshing spark to the passing game. Let's be upfront: he's not known for his blocking prowess. Instead, Wade shines as an explosive weapon in the air attack. He's proven to be a reliable and versatile piece for any offense, with a knack for finding soft spots in the defense and creating separation with his smooth movement skills.
What really sets Wade apart is his "microwave effect"—he heats up fast. His surprising speed allows him to turn routine catches into big gains, and he builds momentum quickly once the ball's in his hands. In a tight end class that's lacking some top-end explosiveness, Wade helps fill that gap and then some. Keep an eye on this Knight as the season approaches—he's one to watch.
