4. Harold Fannin Jr., Bowling Green
6-3, 241. 4.71 40-yard dash
The first tight end in conference history to win the MAC Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year after leading the FBS with 117 receptions and 1,555 receiving yards (both single season records for a tight end). He also led the Falcons with 10 receiving touchdowns. Fannin recorded over 200 receiving yards in Bowling Green’s bowl game. When the ball comes his way, he makes the catch.
5. Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame
6-5, 258. 4.74 40-yard dash
Evans suffered a torn ACL in 2023 but came back strong last season, leading the Irish with 43 receptions. He’s got a big frame and is a willing blocker in the run game, which the Lions should like about his game. He can play on and off the line and has the potential to be a really solid complement to LaPorta and Wright.
