2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about MCCALLAN CASTLES:

Tennessee | HT: 6044 | WT: 245 | 40 time: 4.75 | Arm: 3234 | Hand: 0958 | Wing: 7818

Three-year starter. Transfer from Cal-Davis prior to the 2023 season, and from California before that. Three-time All-Big Sky selection including first-team honors in the 2021 spring season. Played best as an in-line tight end, but was also split out in Tennessee’s spread offense. Undersized from a height and weight standpoint but possesses excellent muscle mass. An athletic mover in space to climb levels efficiently. Breaks down with a balanced base before striking. Works his hands inside when they land outside. Latches onto linebackers and nickels to take them for a ride downfield, especially on angle blocks. Able to uproot edge defenders with a violent engagement and strength to create considerable knockback and push off the line. In split zone, scrapes tight to protect the inside gap and force defenders out. Good technique in pass protection with active feet and vision to identify targets. Stalemates blitzing linebackers with a strong anchor, excellent hand usage, and upper-body strength. A reliable security blanket in the passing game. On underneath routes, sticks his arms out to catch the ball away from his body while boxing out defenders. His undersized frame will make it difficult to move bigger edges at the next level. An unimpressive receiving option beyond the short passing game. Tight hips at the top of his route hinder his ability to separate. Fringe speed to stretch the field vertically down the seam. Limited yards after the catch and won’t make defenders miss in space.

2023 Stats: 22-283, 12.9 ypr, 5 TD. Draft projection: 5th-7th round
