The Oregon Ducks have no shortage of offensive firepower, but Kenyon Sadiq is quickly becoming one of the most complete tight ends in college football. At 6'3", 245 pounds with 4.55 speed, Sadiq brings a rare combination of size, athleticism, and explosiveness. This season, he’s totaled 36 catches for 479 yards and eight touchdowns, proving he’s a legitimate red-zone weapon with a knack for finding the end zone.

Sadiq’s versatility jumps off the screen. Oregon uses him everywhere; inline, in the slot, motioned across the formation, and he thrives in every role. He has strong hands, wins contested catches, and creates mismatches against both linebackers and safeties. For a player with his receiving ability, he’s also a legitimately strong and willing blocker, something that NFL scouts take seriously when grading tight ends.

What makes Sadiq stand out most is his motor. He finishes plays, blocks through the whistle, and always looks like he’s trying to punish a defender. Oregon’s balanced offense leans heavily on its tight ends, and Sadiq has become one of the most reliable pieces in that system.

As the Ducks push deeper into the postseason conversation, Sadiq’s continued emergence will play a major role. His combination of athleticism, physicality, and production is why he is the top tight end prospect in the country.
