Houston’s star tight end Tanner Koziol has a solid performance at Combine.
Houston’s star tight end Tanner Koziol, who led college football in receptions last season, second for receiving yards, and first for touchdowns, was solid but unspectacular performance at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. Koziol clocked a 4.70 in the 40-yard dash at 6’7″, 245 pounds. He didn’t test like an elite mover, but his size, catch radius, and reliable hands still make him an intriguing receiving tight end prospect. Koziol likely remains a Day 2-3 draft candidate whose value will hinge more on production and role fit than raw athletic upside.

Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq declared for the draft earlier in the week and is considered the top tight end in the 2026 NFL Draft. He’s not the only tight end in the draft though and others will be showcasing their skills throughout the pre-draft process.
Nine of those other tight ends will be putting their skills on display in Mobile Alabama at the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl. Joshua Cuevas (Alabama), John Michael Gyllenborg (Wyoming), Will Kacmarek (Ohio State), Sam Roush (Stanford), Dan Villari (Syracuse), Nate Boerkircher (Texas A&M), Justin Joly (NC State), Tanner Koziol (Houston) and DJ Rogers (TCU) will get the opportunity to make an impression on NFL teams later this month.
