With spring football wrapping up across the country, it’s time to spotlight 15 tight ends who stood out live during the 2025 7v7 circuit. These athletes consistently impressed with their ability to high-point the football, make tough grabs in traffic, beat press coverage off the line, and outmuscle defenders across the middle. Each tight end on this list showed excellent hands, body control, and toughness, along with a coachable mentality that translates well to Friday nights this fall.
These tight ends are listed in no particular order, each one brings tremendous value and upside to their high school programs. College coaches: now is the time to check out their HUDL film and get them on your radar.
