2026 Preseason · Updated automatically
2026 PRESEASON TIGHT END RANKINGS
Coach-baseline projections + opponent-adjusted strength of schedule for every FBS program. 274 players ranked.
Preseason TE rankings — the most schematic position in CFF. Coaches who feature the TE (think Brian Kelly, Lane Kiffin) push their TE1 up the board independent of the player; coaches who freeze out the TE in favor of receivers do the opposite.
