Baylor Cupp

Tall, athletic build. Has little bad weight and a frame that could carry 260 pounds. One of the most explosive overall athletes in the 2019 recruiting cycle. Tests exceptionally well athletically and is a standout in track & field running the 200 meter and throwing the shot put. Advanced enough as a jumbo athlete that he could succeed as a defensive end in addition to tight end. Plays in a run-heavy offense and excels as a run blocker. Uses his natural strength to drive defenders off the ball, often spiking them into the turf. One of the best combinations of blocking and athleticism at the position in several cycles. Most of his production as a receiver comes off of play action, with him often blowing past opposing defensive backs resulting in wide open plays. Has the skill set to become a versatile and complete in-line tight end at the next level. Doesn’t have many opportunities to make contested catches. Tends to body-catch at times and can be hesitant in attacking the ball as a pass-catcher. Raw as a route-runner and will need to continue developing on that front. Projects as an early contributor at the Power 5 level with the upside to develop into one of the top tight ends in college football.
